Community Call Summary

We're going deep on activity and inactivity!

  • Kat shared some information that 17% of her active clients were over the 90-day inactivity threshold but hadn't received any services in 90 days. She has a script from HICC that verifies this, and she's curious how prevalent this issue is in other communities. Here's a link to the SQL code. Please contact @Kat LeBlanc with any interesting results.

  • Several communities are currently testing the new COR report. 

  • Pero asked about how communities are validating the (older) CHR report and what the definitions were.

Community Call Summary

First call in a while, since the last one was cancelled. This week we had about 12 people. Here were some highlights:

  • Transitional housing - if a client moves in to housing for only a couple days, is there a way we can record this but not count it as a transition to housing?

  • Veteran confirmation - North Bay's VAC office told them they needed a SIN number to confirm veteran status, which is of course a big challenge

  • CAEH innovation funding - lots of communities applying and crossing their fingers

  • Immigrations & refugees - funding available through the Interim Housing Assistance Program, lots of discussion about data needs

Community Call Summary

Slow start today, but the conversation really ramped up. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Transitional housing: housed or homeless? We discussed how there was a spectrum of different ways that transitional housing could look, but in HIFIS, we have to make the binary decision of "homeless or housed."

  • Who ultimately gets to decide what the community's prioritization criteria are? The CE gets the funding and is ultimately responsible, but the …
