This software has been tremendously helpful and is definitely one of the reasons we have been able to save lives. Because we are a healthcare center, we are not just seeing the homeless. We are seeing many vulnerable populations. Without a tool like this, I don’t know how we would have done it.

We have been using Green River’s software for years, which greatly enhances our ability to find individuals who are experiencing homelessness and connect them to health care and case management, and to assist with services such as income support or food assistance. The software from Green River helps us do that.
