VESTA Modules
VESTA was originally developed as a
Microsoft Access database used by local family shelters to track their clients
and produce reports. The system was expanded into a Microsoft SQL Server /
ASP.NET web-based system in 2000. Since then it has grwon into a
Collaborative Community Services Software system as other programs,
agencies and funders elected to use it as their database solution to measure and improve performance outcomes.
All VESTA Modules are completely customizeable. Basic modules include:
- HMIS Modules - The HMIS Modules all conform to the most recent HUD HMIS Data and Technical Standards.
These modules include: Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing and Permanent Supportive Housing. All of the HMIS standard modules can generate an Annual Performance Report for HUD
as well as specialized reporting needed by the programs using them.
- EA Module - The Emergency Assistance (EA) Module is designed to enable agencies
providing basic emergency services to client to electronically store all client
records. The EA Module includes the ability to track items provided to
clients (e.g. financial assistance, food, clothing, special supplies, etc.) and
to support the provision of stabilization services. The basic EA module
includes the use of a scan card, document storage, assessment and
self-sufficiency forms, and a budgeting tool.
- Front Door Module - The Front Door module enables an agency to use VESTA to
manage the flow of clients into their agency. By placing the front door
module at the agency reception desk the receptionist can register the client for
services, put them in a time stamped queue, or record items picked up.
- CAP Module - The Central Access Point (CAP) Module is a special created module
that supports the documentation of callers at a call center, specialized
screenings, electronic referrals to partner programs, and an electronic "real
time" bed finder for emergency shelter bed availability.
