KYHMIS Annual Licensing Invoices
Every year, KHC invoices for the next fiscal year's Kentucky Homeless Management Information System (KYHMIS) User License fees. In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, online payments were introduced to the KYHMIS agencies. 

KHC has adopted this method of invoicing permanently. Invoices were recently emailed to each agency for fiscal year 2016-2017 billing. All agencies in the BoS and the Lexington CoC that participate in KYHMIS, and have users with licenses, should have received an invoice for their portion of the license fee.  

The Louisville CoC will bill their Louisville CoC clients directly and then pay their portion of the license fees (for all Louisville agencies) directly to KHC. 

Your agency will be charged for the number of users in the KYHMIS. Please remember that user licenses cannot be shared by more than one user. Refunds will not be given for licenses requested in July, which weren't used consecutively during the year. 
 
The initial invoices, as well as reminder invoices, have been sent to each agency. There will be no more reminder invoices sent out for KYHMIS license fees that are currently due. To avoid suspension of KYHMIS user licenses, please pay your invoice by Monday, August 15, 2016.

Agencies may access the 
PNC Payment Center  to log in and pay now. If you have any questions, please contact the HCA Help Desk toll-free at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 446; TTY 711; or  Submit a Request  through the HCA Help Desk
