This e-course was developed to support communities with completing Section 4 of their Reaching Home Community Homelessness Report (CHR). The Reaching Home Community Outcomes HIFIS Report generates data for Community-Level Outcomes to assist communities with Reaching Home reporting requirements and to compare their results against local targets over time. It includes overall homelessness, chronic homelessness, Indigenous homelessness, newly identified, and returns to homelessness.

For details on the CHR, see the CHR Reporting tools e-course, linked here.
