• The ability to mark financial goals (including amount!) that a resident sets instead of only those achieved (located on the Financial Status form in the “Financial Goals” section)
  • Please note that no accompanying report was designed or built. If this is something your organization is interested in funding, please contact us!
• New field for “Number of Months Employed” auto-calculates based on the resident’s Start Date for that job (located on the Employment Status form in the “Employment Details” section)
• Referral Sources have been enhanced on the Intake form:
  • “Self” changed to “Self/Walk-In”
  • “Incoming Call” was added
  • “Outgoing Call” was added
  • “Community Agency” now allows for the ability to select an Agency from the Resource Directory
• The Ethnicity for “African American” is now “African or African American” on the Intake form
• Housing Status options have been enhanced on the Housing Status form:
  • “Hope IV / Relocated” was added
  • “Living with a [Organization Name] Resident” was added (where your Organization’s name is auto-filled)
  • “Scattered Site” was added (including a text box to denote the name or further information)
