Clients must be given a notification and consent form that explains HMIS and
why their personal information is being collected. Clients are also given a release
of information form which they must sign or verbally agree to if their data is
to be shared with other agencies. Depending on your agency, select the correct
form below. Your agency can modify these forms to fit your particular
situation, but you are encouraged to seek legal counsel before doing so. They
are designed to meet legal requirements and to provide clear information to the
clients.
