The HIFIS Toolkit assists communities in the implementation of Coordinated Access and HIFIS in communities and is composed of four guides.

1. The HIFIS Implementation Guide

2. The HIFIS Installation Guide

3. The HIFIS Configuration Guide

4. The HIFIS User Guide

The HIFIS Configuration Guide is for the business analyst or project manager who needs step-by-step instructions to set up and configure HIFIS to support the community business model and coordinated access systems. Proper configuration will help communities access information that supports their daily operations and helps measure progress on preventing and reducing homelessness. The HIFIS Configuration Guide covers the configuration of programs, rights templates, look-up tables, reports and others.
