About Housing Assistance

and find opportunities that meet those needs, including various housing resources in the community.

Michigan State Homeless Management Information Systems (MSHMIS)
TTI is required to submit certain data to the Michigan State Homeless Management Information System (MSHMIS). MSHMIS is a central data collection system mandated by the United States Congress to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Congress passed this requirement in order to get a more accurate count of individuals and families who are homeless and to identify the need for and use of different services by those individuals and families. TTI is working to assist the State of Michigan in meeting the goal set by Congress by collecting statistical information on those who use our services and reporting that information to the MSHMIS.
Information gathered is personal and private, and TTI ensures data safety at all times. Those in a program requiring MSHMIS data collection do have the right to request their name be entered as “anonymous.” No one will be denied eligible services if choosing not to share related information in MSHMIS. Please note, even if information is not shared with other agencies or actual personal information is not entered to MSHMIS, TTI must still report some data to the central data collection system due to federal and state programming requirements.
