About Us
The Homeless Shelter Client Services Database was written by volunteers for the non-profit community. We admire the selfless work you are doing.
We also recognize that this application has a small user community, and our work is not limited to providing this software. If you are involved with a non-profit homeless shelter organization, let us know if you need help with any issues regarding this application: installation, configuration, usage, ideas for new reports, suggestions, and comments.

Thanks to the folks at Homeless Helping Homeless of Tampa, Florida, for their support, patience, and inspiration for this project.
