Dove, Inc., performs a Point-In-Time (PIT) survey to quantify the homeless population in Macon County. Their process consisted of hand-counting paper surveys according to guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This process became very time consuming and had a high probability of human error. Students worked with representatives from Dove to analyze the existing process, recommend a new survey method, and design and develop a database application to meet the survey’s requirements. The database efficiently stores the data from the surveys, generates reports to mimic HUD’s online entry system, and includes an easy-to-use interface. Students continue to work on moving this project forward by providing feature enhancements, training users, and implementing HUD changes to the reports.
