Daily Reflection

"Your climb starts with one step today."

Built for Columbus. Built for the Climb.

Our House isn't just a database; it's a launchpad. We digitized the entire shelter ecosystem to ensure every minute saved on paperwork is a minute spent on people.

Automated Compliance

Reimbursement reporting happens in the background. Intake forms and bed tracking automatically generate the data needed for Ohio state funding.

Resident Autonomy

Residents get their own secure portal. They can manage their check-ins, view career opportunities, and track their own path to independence.

Staff Development

Invest in your team with integrated training modules. From de-escalation protocols to career growth tracking, ensure your staff is supported.

About Our House

Founded in Columbus, Ohio, "Our House" began with a simple observation: Shelter staff were spending more time on compliance paperwork than they were on human connection.

We believe that the friction between social organizations and government funding is largely a data problem. Governments need accountability; shelters need resources. Our platform provides the transparent pipeline that satisfies both parties, creating a "Smart City" approach to homelessness.
