The Community Outcomes Report (COR) generates data to support systems-level analysis of homelessness during a selected timeframe. It was developed in partnership between Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC), the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness (CAEH), and ACRE Consulting. The COR provides information on active homelessness, system inflows and outflows, and breakdowns by population groups to help communities track changes over time. The COR was created by combining features of the Reaching Home Community Outcomes Report (formerly the Community Homelessness Report) and the CAEH Inflow/Outflow report. 

The report generates data to assist communities in meeting their reporting requirements for:

• Reaching Home Community Homelessness Reports;
• The Homelessness Indicator Project;
• The Homelessness Reduction Innovation Fund;
• Built for Zero Canada
