Collaborate Online Web Database gives everyone on your team a single point of
access to organize, store and share critical Continuum of Care (CoC) information
online. Many CoC-specific databases are provided or you can create your own
databases from scratch. Databases can be easily modified to meet your CoC
specific data needs. Now everyone on your team can securely share and manage key
business information from one location – quickly and easily.
Your data is always accessible from anywhere in the world using the web. Set
up your own custom fields, views, and printable reports in minutes. Whether it’s
for homeless street or shelter counts, HUD grant tracking, housing inventory,
service provider inventory, turnaway reporting, or program rating & ranking, the
Web Database is a powerful, yet simple tool that will improve workflow and
increase productivity throughout your entire CoC.

Databases
Specifically for CoC Organizations
Collaborate Online includes many custom databases that meet the specific
needs of CoC organizations. Data that must be shared, reported, and
analyzed can easily be provided by and accessed by members, all with the
utmost security. For your specific database needs, you can easily
develop your own databases, views, and reports or have us do it for you.
Either way, developing your databases takes minutes instead of days or
weeks.

Prepare
Your CoC for the HUD Application
HUD has recently announced that the 2008 CoC Competition will require an
electronic submission of the Application. However, each CoC must
prepare the large amounts of data and content for the application with
contributions from many CoC members. Shorten your information gathering
time and be more efficient by exporting your data from Collaborate
Online to the HUD system. Continuums that are best organized will score
highly in the Competition.
