Open Path Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
The Human-Centered HMIS
HUD-compliant. Purpose-built with service providers to make data collection easy, coordinated entry seamless, and care more connected.
Evolving HMIS Software
Through Partnership and Purpose
Built from the ground up for community impact, Open Path is open-source HMIS software that adapts to your organization’s needs. Each feature is informed by direct feedback from partners and funded collaborations, ensuring that the platform continues to expand with the people who use it most.
We are proud to be trusted by communities nationwide.
Open Path HMIS
We built Open Path with and for frontline staff. Every click, form, and workflow is designed to save time and strengthen care.
Homeless service providers juggle intake forms, reporting deadlines, and countless systems. An HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) brings it all together — tracking client information, housing inventory, and outcomes across your community.
But not every HMIS is built for the people who use it every day.
Open Path HMIS is.
Created in partnership with Continuums of Care (CoCs) and direct service agencies, Open Path is a fully HUD-compliant platform designed to make your data work for you — not the other way around.
