Philanthropic foundations active in the human service arena are finding Resource House an invaluable ally. Take The Horizon Foundation of Howard County, Maryland. Horizon's mission is to solidify the county's health and wellness infrastructure; improve social conditions and quality of life; increase access to health and human services; and strengthen the integrity of local safety net programs.
That's a tall order.
In 2001, The Horizon Foundation collaborated with United Way's First Call for Help to license Resource House under the logo HorizonHelp. Today, HorizonHelp is Howard County's most comprehensive online database of local providers.
The most successful foundations are those that can create the most stable and inclusive cooperative networks. Without automatic access to local data resources, they must find their own ways to connect providers with the public—and both with government, too.
The Horizon Foundation continues to build and expand dynamic relationships at every level of its community, in large part thanks to North Light's accommodating technology and human service know-how.
Marla Shaivitz, Horizon's Web technology director, says:
"One of the greatest advantages of the Resource House software is its flexibility. When I'm talking to new service providers in our community, they're always amazed at the level of customization in the system, and how easy it is to tailor it to their need."
Hardly surprising, then, that the Howard County Office on Aging also uses Resource House to fulfill its Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) requirements.
