Ah yes. I suppose I hope people
Will read the article. But off the bat would help. “The Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS) allows service providers collect and share real-time homelessness data.” Basically the elusive “By Name List” elected officials have been asking abt.

Most of my HiFis were cobbled together
I worked delivery for comet and quite often I'd goods that had been written off beyond economical repair and they'd have to be smashed up before they skipped them
One week I offered to buy 2 comet own brand (Proline) hi-fis
One had no CD other no tape £25

Unlike the Point in Time headcounts typically used to measure the unhoused population, HIFIS database would gather ongoing info from individuals about their status & what they say they need

Same with CMM on formalizing a fair wages policy, and CMM on establishing a BNL (which turned into advocacy on HIFIS), and the CMM on the emergency response to medetomidine.

Caradonna: Part of why HIFIS is stuck is bureaucratic ineptitude and other reasons. In my mind, it's stuck with BC Housing, not CRD. Worth noting BC Housing has relatively complete info, they just don't share that info, so it's "chaos out there." Now there's just not one single database.

Gardiner: So why don't we have a list yet with so many groups doing outreach? This new list is meant to do what HIFIS is meant for?
Staff: Yes and other components of it.

Thompson: Concerns about privacy.
Staff: How does this work with the province's work on HIFIS? We don't want to create more separate BNLs but the data still isn't there. Our intention is to come back to Council with an update on HIFIS.

Looking for comments to feature in a video about retro tech adverts, and the memories we have of growing up with those old tech products. If you have thoughts to share about anything from the list (see follow-up replies) leave a comment! Video drops on Thursday 6th August.

A great guy. I think that must have been his gap year between school and university that he worked as the lab tech? I also took a year out and repaired TVs and Hifis in a place in Camden.

It starts with the potentiometers and capacitors. Pretty soon she’ll be stealing hifis to fund her semiconductor habit.

And yes you could repair it, because, again, it was the price of a used car.
My source ? My dad and one of his friend bought Hifis in 1984 and the friend showed me the bill as he had kept it.
Couple grands for something that only plays music and the radio.
