One shared workspace. Value for every role.
Help frontline staff act, shift leads coordinate, and directors see the bigger picture. Admin and Staff permissions keep responsibilities clear.
Front desk and shift staff
Find bed information, complete intake, and record attendance without piecing the shift together from separate lists.
Shift leads
Spot expected arrivals, open tasks, and census gaps so you can direct attention where it is needed.
Shelter directors
See occupancy, unfinished work, and activity trends to stay connected to daily operations.
Administrators
Keep rooms, beds, standard choices, and staff access organized as your facility’s needs change.
Keep your HMIS. Connect your daily operations.
Use ShelterCurrent for beds, arrivals, census, and handoff while continuing your required HMIS reporting. The systems are separate; automated HMIS sync is not included. Plan which work stays in each system.
Try a whole shift before deciding
Open the fictional demo, then find a ready bed, follow an arrival, review the nightly count, and locate an open handoff task. Compare those steps with your current routine, including any repeated HMIS entry.
Use the free shelter software evaluation workbook to record what you can verify. Your administrator configures rooms, beds, programs, and staff access manually; email support is available for questions. Review staff access and data handling, including exports, before subscribing.
