Switching your HMIS can be daunting, especially when you need buy-in and coordination from multiple stakeholders. To make the daunting doable, we’ve compiled a guide that walks you through every stage of the process, from building a selection committee to reviewing RFP responses to celebrating your new HMIS.

What Your Peers Love About Clarity
“Going through a software migration is hard work, but the change to Clarity brought about better collaboration amongst the System Admins across the state. One of the benefits of the Clarity software is the built-in functionality that reduces the amount of end user errors. Also, there are a lot more reports, including reports that are specific to clients that end users can run. Users adjusted to using Clarity quickly with some helpful tips and reminders that were pointed out during the initial training. Clarity has allowed us to streamline our workflow for all project types requiring less specialized workflow training.”

“Bitfocus and their Outreach module have provided our community with some phenomenal tools to start tracking and evaluating what unsheltered homelessness truly looks like in our community. With the cooperation of our outreach providers, our goal is to be able to provide services more effectively to those in need and data to support the great work our community does. Bitfocus and their project team were fantastic in assisting us with getting this software up and running — everything from information gathering to training to implementation was handled perfectly.”

“Clarity Human Services has made a world of difference in our ability to improve service delivery across multiple organizations and to expand our human services network.”

We’ve helped implement Clarity for dozens of communities. We’ve never done it the same way twice. Why? Because a location-savvy approach — one that takes into account Oregon’s strengths, blind spots, and CoC partnerships — is far more effective than steamrolling forward with a one-size-fits-all approach.
We offer tailored training plans to help you and your team get the most from Clarity. We’ll sharpen your grasp of the software’s functionality, report generation, data privacy and security, and lots more. Or, if you’d like to ditch the stress of HMIS ops entirely, our Community Administration team can step in to facilitate efficient, reliable day-to-day system management.
When you switch to Clarity, you gain access to a quickly growing network of professionals in the human services industry. We’ll happily welcome you to our Community Slack Group, industry events, and the Clarity Connect conference, where you can share expertise and stories with mission-driven colleagues in Oregon and beyond.
