This report is intended to allow Ontario communities who receive HPP funding to use HIFIS data to report out on the By-Name List section of the HPP reporting requirements. Broadly, it reports on the aggregated inflow and outflow to and from your By-Name List (BNL) and breaks down these numbers into the priority population groups.

This is an unofficial report and is not endorsed by the Ontario MMAH.

This report was created by ACRE Consulting to help communities understand the scope of their homeless population, in real time. This report measures the following three indicators:how many clients have active and valid consenthow many clients are actively receiving serviceshow many clients are known to be homeless A combination of these three measures can be used to determine how many people are known to be active...

This report is designed to help communities with their Action-Oriented Case Conferencing by dividing their actively homeless clients into three buckets: Assess, Match, and Navigate. For each bucket, clients are listed, along with the date they were added to the bucket and how long they've been in the bucket.

This newly updated HIFIS Health Check pulls data from HIFIS along 6 metrics:

1. Cluster integration
2. Consent
3. Potential duplicates
4. Unknown housing status
5. User logins
6. Inactive clients receiving services

Together, these metrics should serve to provide a high-level overview of how well your HIFIS data is able to support your Coordinated Access system and meet Reaching Home directives.

These reports are designed to help communities report on and analyze the monthly changes in their homeless population. There are three versions available: chronic, veteran, and all homeless. These reports display active, aged in, newly identified, returned from inactive, returned from housed, moved to inactive, and moved to housed, all for a single cluster for a specified month.

This report shows a list of clients that have open case files and have had no activity within their case file(s) since a specified date at the selected Service Provider(s). Activity is defined broadly and includes adding or editing Comments, Sessions, Documents, Session Appointments, Session Comments, or editing the Case file itself.

For the municipality’s CHPI reporting needs, they requested a report that will show: The number of Goals that were closed successfully versus unsuccessfully and what the goals were; How many of these goals had a Session created and what type of Session was it; Organized by case manager as well as Service Provider.

This report displays a list of all clients who are chronically homeless at the time that the report is generated, along with their total length of time homeless in the past year, and their current housing situation. Clients who are newly chronically homeless (became chronically homeless in the past year) are highlighted in yellow. Note that this report hard-codes a definition of homelessness; only particular housing types are included and it does not utilize the default rules nor does it look up a housing continuum.

This bundle of reports offers a free option for communities to pull data out of HIFIS and use for their CHPI reporting. These are not official reports and are not endorsed by HIFIS, ESDC, or the Government of Ontario.

Note: The CHPI program has been discontinued and these reports will not be maintained going forward. For the new HPP program that replaces it, see Homelessness Prevention Program (Ontario).

This report is designed to assist communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have a client that you know has contracted the virus, run this report, selecting that client as a parameter, and the report will give you information about where the client has interacted, and with whom, in the past 30 days.

This simple report was comissioned by Lambton County to identify which clients were missing from their Coordinated Access module. It's intended to be exported to Excel and then filtered as needed, and just shows an anonymous list of clients along with their cluster, client status, housing status, Coordinated Access consent status, and whether or not they appear within the Coordinated Access module. Clients who would not appear are highlighted along with the reason they are not appearing.

This report, commissioned by the City of Ottawa, aggregates data from the first shelter stay of clients in HIFIS 4. In other words, for each client, it looks up to see what was their first date of shelter admission, out of all the stays that have been recorded in HIFIS. Then it summarizes the total unique number of new shelter clients by month and by year, allowing you to track long-term shelter inflow data. There is no date parameters for this report; instead it automatically displays data for up to the past 5 years (if there is data going back that far).

This report includes all Stays that began on or before the Report End Date and are still ongoing or ended on or after the Report Start Date, at any of the selected Service Provider(s).  For these stays, it shows the Geographic Region from the Housing History of each client's previous housing and previous permanent housing.

This report lists all clients with a case open in the selected date range, at the selected service provider. For each client, the following data points are listed: risk of homelessness, contributing factors, housing subsidies, program payments, housing search start date, programs, and case management open and close dates. 

This report was developed for the City of Ottawa to show a list of all clients that had stayed in selected shelter(s) during a specified date range. The report lists clients, grouped by household, and displays each client's family role for that household, along with each family member's date of birth, admission date, and discharge date.

This simple report takes all clients who have stayed in the selected shelter(s) in the date range, and counts the total number of nights they stayed in shelter during that date range. The graph then sorts the clients by the total number of nights in shelter during the range. Note that this report works best if you select a long date range, like 1 year.

This report is a free tool that's a companion to my data wizardry presentation, You're Probably Lying About Homelessness, which you can watch on the webinars archive page.

This report aggregates data from the shelter stays of returning clients in HIFIS 4. In other words, when a client has previously stayed in a shelter, then after a period of at least 90 days not in shelter, has a new shelter intake, the date of their new shelter intake is counted. Then it summarizes the total number of returning shelter clients by month and by year, allowing you to track long-term shelter inflow data.

This report includes all actions stored in the audit log performed by Users logged in at the selected Service Provider within a specified Date Range. For each action, several data points are reviewed: IP address and Client ID. Then, for each User, several data points are displayed regarding their actions in a given month.

This report shows, for a single client, their housing status, whether they have a housing plan (custom table), their recent VI-SPDAT/SPDAT data, whether they have acitve service restrictions, whether they are on any waiting lists, what programs they are actively enrolled in, and their history of service.

It’s well known that veterans are overrepresented among those who experience homelessness. Resources are available from Veterans Affairs Canada, but sometimes making that connection is difficult. This report contains a breakdown of veterans by veteran status, status verification, and referrals to Veterans Affairs Canada. It also compares veterans against non-veteran clients along the dimensions of: gender, age, housing status, chronic homelessness, sources of income, identification, contributing factors, and service usage. Finally, it includes a priority list of homeless veterans.

When refugees have nowhere else to go, they end up in emergency homeless shelters. But how many of them are there, and what are their needs?
