About Thunder Bay HIFIS

---

Our team is a collective of dedicated academics, experienced community partners, and passionate students. This collaborative approach brings together diverse perspectives and expertise, strengthening our ability to address homelessness effectively.

This project emerged out of a long-term relationship between Lakehead University and the community of homelessness service providers in Thunder Bay. This partnership has grown for over 10 years, culminating in the Thunder Bay Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS) partnership.

HIFIS is a web-enabled Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) that allows multiple service providers within Thunder Bay to implement coordinated access, document client-level service transactions and plans across a broad range of organizations. It provides the right tools to support the integrated service environment needed to mobilize a more systems-based approach to prevent and reduce homelessness in our community!
