National Extranet Optimized Runaway and Homeless Youth Management Information System (NEO-RHYMIS)
NEO-RHYMIS, maintained by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), provides a revised version of the Runaway and Homeless Youth Management Information System (RHYMIS). New services include data reporting by its grantee agencies. NEO-RHYMIS provides the user community and other interested parties with the ability to display and create standard reports of data collected nationally by the FYSB grantees in NEORHYMIS v2.1 for their use. The standard reports also include graphical representations of the selected data.

The Homelessness Data Exchange (HDX)
HDX is an online tool designed to allow Homeless Continua of Care to submit data to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for

• the Annual Housing Inventory Count;
• Homeless Point-in-Time Counts;
• the Annual Homeless Assessment Report; and
• quarterly homeless counts through the Homelessness Pulse Project.

These reports are based primarily on data collected and maintained in the Homeless Management Information Systems.

Consolidated State Performance Reports (CSPR) Education Data
Section 1.9 of the CSPR Part I, submitted from states to the U.S. Department of Education, provides information on education for homeless youth. This includes information about the number of homeless youth in public schools in the state, the primary residence for these students, and if receiving a McKinney-Vento subgrant, information about the students and their academic achievement. Additional information about this data can be found at the National Center for Homeless Education. This site provides an overview of national data as well as state specific information based on the CSPR data.
