Custom Data Requests

Custom Data Requests

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Minnesota HMIS software transition currently in progress, report feature enhancements and custom data requests will not be started until at least August 1, 2024.

Where can I find data about homelessness and housing instability in Minnesota?
To provide the information that communities need to better understand who is experiencing homelessness and what interventions are most effective at preventing and ending homelessness, ICA has produced publicly-available dashboards and maintains a suite of reports for HMIS users. If those resources do not meet your data needs, you can submit a custom data request using the form linked below.

 

What happens after I submit a custom data request?
You will receive an email receipt confirming your request. Our team will then review your request and follow up within two weeks. From there, we will work with you to understand the data you need, and to assess feasibility and timing.

If your request is approved and results in a custom product, such as a new report or dashboard, we will share a statement of work to ensure mutual understanding of the design, scope and estimated delivery date.  

While we do not charge for custom data, all requests are subject to our data privacy policies and prioritization oversight performed by the HMIS Governing Board, as well as ICA’s capacity to take on the required work.
