The Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS) is a web-enabled Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) that can provide communities with the information they need to further their efforts with addressing homelessness. It allows multiple service providers from the same geographic area to implement coordinated access using real-time information about people experiencing homelessness and the resources they need to find and keep a home. HIFIS also allows communities to document client-level service transactions and plans across a broad range of service providers, including shelters, street outreach, housing help centres, and more intensive case management programs like supportive housing.
