Meet MCAH In May | Lyn Raymond, Data Initiatives Team

I'm Lyn Raymond, an HMIS Project Specialist for the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness. I've been working in the housing and homelessness field for about 25 years. Prior to joining the MCAH team three years ago, I was the Continuum of Care Director for Ottawa County and their local HMIS System Administrator.

For MCAH, along with the rest of the team, I provide support to homeless service providers across Michigan and North Carolina with their data needs. I enjoy connecting with people, offering technical assistance and project support.

I really appreciate working with a team of people dedicated and committed to helping agencies use data to bring an end to homelessness. I'm proud of the work we do finding new and creative ways to make data accessible for HMIS users across Michigan and North Carolina.
