The problem for Homeless Shelters & Housing Programs

  • Housing status tracked across spreadsheets and whiteboards.
  • Coordinated-entry and partner referrals arrive in email, forms, and phone calls.
  • Sensitive client PII is hard to keep safe in shared documents.
  • Running housing alongside other programs means a separate system for each.

Features that matter to Homeless Shelters & Housing Programs

Intake & Referrals

Give partner agencies a branded intake page and an embeddable widget they drop on their own sites, so referrals land straight in your queue. Every submission is captured, triaged, and turned into a case in a few clicks — no more referrals lost in an inbox.

Case Management

Every client gets one living timeline — notes, documents, assessments, goals, services, referrals, and appointments in a single secure record. Any team member can pick up a case and see the whole story at a glance, instead of piecing it together from scattered files.

Clients & Households

See the whole household, not just an isolated file — track every family member and how they connect. Link one person across cases and programs so their full history travels with them, and nothing gets duplicated or lost.

Multi-Program

Run every program your agency delivers — housing, employment, mental health, and more — in one system, organized your way. You define your own program list, intake routes each client to the right one, and leadership sees activity across all of them without juggling separate tools.

PIPEDA-First Security

Every organization’s data is isolated at the database level — not just the app — with encryption in transit and at rest, admin MFA, and a full audit trail of who did what. Built with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) in mind, so you can hold sensitive client information responsibly, at a nonprofit price.

Questions from Homeless Shelters & Housing Programs teams

Can we manage households, not just individuals?

Yes. Link household members and track a person across cases and programs.

Can we run our other programs in the same system?

Yes. Impact OS runs every program your agency delivers — you define the program list and intake routes each client to the right one.

Is client data secure?

Yes — row-level tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, admin MFA, and full audit trails, built with PIPEDA in mind.

Do you integrate with our HMIS?

Impact OS is a modern case-management system, not a certified HMIS. If HMIS or a specific integration is a requirement, contact our team and we’ll talk through your situation honestly.
