After our training this past Wednesday, I thought it may be easier for everyone if I renamed the "Enter Data As" providers from "HP" + "RRH" to " CAT 1 " + " CAT 2/3 " (see screenshot below).  I anticipate this will help a bit with everyone's workflow.   The VA has already cited us for recent data inconsistencies, so we must all do our best to accurately reflect the awesome efforts + services of Team SSVF.  Please keep in mind that quality + timely data is a major factor for continued funding.  I'm glad to do whatever it takes to ensure we're properly represented.  Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time, and as many times as you need. If you do not like this change, please let me know ASAP    If we decide to keep this naming convention, always choose the correct provider CAT 1 = homeless prevention (client is not homeless) CAT 2/3 = rapid re-housing (client is homeless) If working with Baltimore Ci...

By Christine Walsh on Feb. 20, 2015 | Topics:  Modern architecture |  Comments (0) The so-called Dom’Up is an innovative treehouse, which is easy to install, and has virtually no impact on the trees used to support it. It was created by Holland-based arborculturist Bruno de Grunne and architect Nicolas d’Ursel from the organization Trees and People. The treehouse can be used as an alternative to the classic treehouse, for glamping, or even as a treetop office, resort or even a cool restaurant. The Dom’Up is a lightweight, UV-resistant canvas tent shelter that stretches over a 172 square foot (16 sq m) octagonal platform. The treehouse is suspended using Trees and People’s No Trace arboreal fixing system, which was designed with the idea of utilizing space between trees, rather than a single tree, since the former offers more space. Using more that one tree to support the structure also means the weight can be distributed more equally and therefore having very ...
