Outcome Tracker is a HUD Certified CMS (Client Management System) that integrates housing counseling data with your other client programs.  This online platform allows you to manage client data throughout all the phases of your client interactions:

Inquiry → Application/Intake → Services → Outcomes/Impact

The client-centered user interface makes it easy for your users to access all of a client's information and add activities & notes.  Self-service features and messages allow you to efficiently engage with clients via their computer or phone.  Reports provide analysis of your clients, services, and outcomes.  Interfaces exchange data with other systems -- see below for details.
