Boswell's Households screen: a searchable list of client households, each showing the head of household and number of members

Sound familiar?

Starting from scratch each night

Every shift re-asks the same questions instead of picking up where the last one left off — and guests feel it.

Notes scattered everywhere

Guest history lives in binders, sticky notes, and people's memory — and walks out the door when staff turn over.

The reporting scramble

Funder and Continuum of Care reports mean hours of counting and cross-checking by hand.
