Case Study: House of Hope CDC improves homeless outreach data collection with Fulcrum

House of Hope CDC trains interns in under 30 minutes with Fulcrum

The House of Hope Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit serving Rhode Island's homeless population, faced significant challenges in field data collection. Their outreach workers relied on paper notes and memory, leading to lost details, and faced cumbersome, costly data entry into a mandatory database. This system also prevented their interns from contributing data. They turned to the Fulcrum mobile platform for a solution.

By implementing Fulcrum, the organization enabled real-time, mobile data capture in the field. This allowed for accurate geo-tracking, time-stamped records, and instant data sharing among all team members, including interns. The solution provided verifiable proof of homelessness for clients to access resources and improved care coordination. Fulcrum ultimately allowed House of Hope to capture accurate service numbers, streamline operations, and use data to advocate for better community resources.
