Returns to Shelter Over Time

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.
