Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP)
As of April 1, 2022, Ontario communities now have new funding requirements through the Homelessness Prevention Program, or HPP for short. Officially, the Ministry is not offering any support to communities using HIFIS to assist with fulfilling their reporting requirements, which is why we've put together this set of resources.
Please note that none of these resources are in any way endorsed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, or Infrastructure Canada (developers of HIFIS), and should not be interpreted as such.

Program Entry Dataset
Data Wrangling Project
This view pulls data from all services where a Program has been added. For each Program, a client's Program Entry Date is determined as the earliest date that a client ever began receiving a service associated with that Program. In addition, the view calculates what the client's most recent Housing Status was at the time of Program Entry. Intended for HPP-funded communities.
