Mis au point par le gouvernement du Canada, le SISA est un système de gestion de l'information sur l'itinérance (SGII) conçu pour appuyer les activités opérationnelles quotidiennes des fournisseurs de services canadiens. En tant que système complet de collecte de données et de gestion de cas, le SISA permet aux fournisseurs de services participants au sein d'une même communauté de recueillir, d'accéder et de partager des données en temps réel sur l'itinérance, et ce, pour veiller à ce que les personnes et les familles ayant recours à ces services soient priorisées et aiguillées au bon moment vers les services appropriés. 1, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20d%27information%20sur%20les%20personnes%20et%20les%20familles%20sans%20abri
