Today we discussed:

• Upcoming PIT Count

• Booking clients into shelter when they can't provide consent

• Proposal for new referrals module

Want to to be involved in the referrals project? Four more focus group opportunities! https://community.acreconsu...

Today we chatted about:

• Housing Loss Prevention - what about when someone needs assistance twice for the same address?

• Reporting - inner/left outer joins and accessing program and housing data

• Families - some communities in Alberta don't want to add children/dependents to HIFIS. How to record family size data otherwise? We talked about custom tables. And then we talked about Families and how family members interact with HIFIS.

It was so nice to see everybody at our end-of-summer call! Here's some of what we discussed:

• Bulk ending consents. NB, Lambton, Peterborough, and Simcoe have all bulk-ended all their consents, and HIFIS 4.0.60.5 now has an officially-supported script that works.

• Service restrictions. One service provider wants to use service restrictions to store partial restrictions, like the person is allowed to access showers but not other services. We discussed modifying Reason for Restriction and using Override Service Restrictions.

• Directives and checklists. Discussion about Reaching Home and BFZ CA scorecard.

• AI notetaking that turned into a bit of discussion about other AI policies.

I expected today's call to be sleepy and full of 🌴🌞🍹 but to my surprise, there was a lot to discuss!

• Winnipeg is experiencing a weird issue where they can't remove a service provider from a user account... if they take that action by a user that has a rights template. If they don't have a rights template assigned, they can do the action.

• Nipissing is upgrading to 60.5 from 59 and has lots of questions.

• Guelph is trying to sort out a historical data practice related to supportive housing providers and the Admissions module.

About a dozen people today. We chatted about:

• New MMAH reporting requirements about encampments to shelters and housing

• Referrals and system notifications https://hifisfeedback.acrec...

• Some wishful thinking about modifications to how Programs works https://hifisfeedback.acrec...

Lots of energy today! Here's some of what we chatted about:

• Lots of discussion about 60.5 and what bugs have been found

• Questions about RROL reporting and specifically with Housing Placements

• Talked about racial identity and physical disability in HIFIS
