Simtech Solutions Inc.
www.simtechsolutions.comSimtech Solutions Inc. is a cause-driven technology services provider with a passion for developing innovative technologies to help people experiencing homelessness. Simtech Solutions is a pioneer in the usage of data analysis to guide the process of allocating limited housing resources. In 2002, Simtech Solutions developed the first HMIS data warehouse in the nation. The research conducted within the warehouse helped propel the Housing First movement by effectively demonstrating the substantial cost savings realized from providing housing to frequent users of shelter and emergency care services. Over 3,900 projects that serve the homeless around the US have relied on HomelessData.com to measure the impact of their work, guide the decision-making process with evidence, and to meet the stringent HMIS reporting requirements of HUD. The US Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) tapped Simtech as primary authors of reporting specifications and data exchange formats relied on by Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Key work includes the Annual Performance Report (APR) Programming Specifications as well as the HUD CSV Exchange Format used to standardize data exchange. As developers of the Counting Us mobile app used by 50+ regions to conduct the annual Point-in-Time homeless census in real-time. Recognized by HUD, GCN, and CityLab, this work is having an unprecedented impact on the integrity of our nation's annual homeless count. This same tech was rapidly deployed in Houston and the Texas Balance of State CoCs to aid over 2,000 evacuees during the disaster recovery after Hurricane Harvey and is now being used to support shelter in place models for COVID-19 by tracking the provision of meals, water and other resources to ensure effective distribution.
