Outreach & Engagement
Tools to support the unsheltered
Point-In-Time (PIT) Count Tool
No Login Required
When using the External Forms feature for PIT data collection, the form enforces the collection of required HMIS elements, but can be customized to add additional questions using the standard form editing tools.
Volunteer Friendly
The tool offers customizable guidance for volunteers to help them successfully complete each survey.
Multi-Modal
The PIT tool understands that not every PIT interaction is verbal, and provides different data collection questions for in-person and observation only interactions.
Location Aware
The Open Path PIT Tool includes the ability to collect geographic coordinates via the device in-use.
The volunteer can click the Get location button when they are meeting an individual experiencing homelessness, and a pin will be dropped on the map to indicate where the interaction happened.
These pins can be seen within the Open Path Warehouse and used for reporting and data analysis in the OP Analytics tool.

Cohorts
Manage the data to get people housed
The Open Path data warehouse helps organize and manage encampment closures while preparing individuals for stable housing. Unlike unsecured tools like online spreadsheets, our system centralizes all communications, document tracking, and client management in one place—ensuring nothing gets lost in the process.
With built-in email tracking, document attachment capabilities, and a structured list management approach, the cohort system enables outreach teams to efficiently coordinate services for mass housing efforts.
Hundreds of individuals have already been housed by the CoC’s we work with using this approach, proving its effectiveness in maintaining accountability and keeping every step of the journey toward housing well-documented and organized.
