10 HMIS Vendor RFQQ Timeline & Process Questions?

11 HMIS Update on Youth Under 13 Bill  The provision is still in the budget bill to allow youth under 13 to sign written consent forms. No word yet on when that will pass through the process. There is a lot of confusion regarding youth consent in the communities right now due to recent communication from HUD and from advocates regarding the Runaway Homeless Youth Act. HHA is expected to release clarifying information for everyone regarding the expectations for gathering PII in HMIS for RHY. Remember, WA state still has written consent laws that need to be followed. It is important to take that into account with every reading of notices from federal funders.
