HPP Report | Program Participants
$500 CAD
This report is intended to allow communities in Ontario who receive HPP funding to use HIFIS data to report out on the program participants section of the HPP reporting requirements, which encompass the majority of sections 1 and 2.
Broadly speaking, the report summarizes data about which households received services associated with which Programs. It also determines the first time the household received a service like it, and from that determines whether the client was homeless or at risk of homelessness at the time, and also whether that means the client was new to HPP or a returning household.
This is an unofficial report and is not endorsed by the Ontario MMAH.
Note: this report requires the Program Entry Dataset to run. These products are sold separately but have the option to purchase them together using the Buy Now button below.

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.
