National Homelessness Information System
The National Homelessness Information System (NHIS) is a federal data development initiative designed to collect and analyze baseline data related primarily to the use of emergency shelters in Canada.
The NHIS funding stream supports the implementation and deployment of the Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS) software, HIFIS training at the community level, and projects related to community shelter data coordination.
Data collected through HIFIS and other sources, such as provincial or municipal governments, feed into the NHIS.
