A complete HMIS.
Free to Delaware.
CauseWork is making its independent Homeless Management Information System available to the Delaware Continuum of Care and every authorized participating Delaware nonprofit at no licensing cost—without exception.
Every provider gets a door in.
A nonprofit should never be excluded from Delaware's homelessness-response system because it cannot afford another software seat.
CauseWork HMIS is available to the Delaware CoC and every authorized participating provider—including organizations that receive no HUD homelessness funding. Participation is not conditioned on buying CauseWorkHub, subscribing to another service, or limiting access to a small number of employees.
The HMIS belongs to the community. The data belongs under community governance.
Record services once.
Use the information everywhere it is required.
Community HMIS
Authorized providers coordinate services, manage referrals, document program activity, protect sensitive records, and prepare required information in one governed community system.
HUD-ready reporting foundation
CauseWork HMIS is structured around standardized data, controlled exports, complete audit history, data quality, and the reporting discipline a CoC needs.
Unlimited participation
More legitimate users and providers create a more complete view of community need. Adding a person who needs access never creates another software charge.
A dedicated HMIS architecture.
CauseWork already built the difficult operational foundation. CauseWork HMIS applies that foundation to HUD’s standards in a dedicated, independently secured application.
A strongly typed, enterprise-grade application boundary with policy-based authorization, secure data protection, and long-term security servicing.
Delaware receives an isolated database, row-level security, encrypted connections, protected backups, and no commingling with another CoC.
Mandatory MFA, default-deny permissions, provider and program boundaries, short sessions, and step-up authentication for consequential actions.
Every view, edit, disclosure, merge, import, export, and administrative decision produces accountable evidence.
FY 2026 data structures, automated validation, API-first exchange, and controlled HUD CSV import and export are part of the core—not an afterthought.
Containerized releases, infrastructure as code, managed encryption keys, dependency scanning, and independently tested production builds.
Legacy vendor economics
Commercial access is rationed through paid user licenses, while participating organizations depend on the incumbent for configuration, portability, and change.
Modern community infrastructure
A dedicated, standards-native system built for unlimited authorized participation, continuous portability, auditable governance, and community control.
Stop paying for less participation.
Per-user pricing does not merely increase cost. It determines who is allowed to contribute to the community's understanding of homelessness.
When publicly funded and unfunded providers must ration access by employee, the CoC receives a narrower view of the people, services, handoffs, unmet needs, and capacity shaping the system.
CauseWork HMIS removes that artificial barrier. Delaware can include every authorized provider without creating another license invoice.
Replace the expense—or keep paying while nonprofits stop paying.
CauseWork HMIS removes the software barrier under either decision.
Use CauseWork HMIS as Delaware's community system.
The Delaware CoC receives a complete HMIS with unlimited authorized providers and users at no software licensing cost.
- No WellSky software expense
- No nonprofit participation fees

Let nonprofits work free and export to Delaware CMIS.
Participating nonprofits use the free CauseWork HMIS, which validates their required information and produces HUD-standard HMIS exports for transmission into Delaware's designated WellSky CMIS.
- No paid CauseWorkHub subscription
- No need for every employee to work in WellSky
- Standards-based transfer into the designated HMIS
- Rejected records return for correction and resubmission
Migration does not have to become a multiyear project.
HUD’s HMIS CSV specification supplies the common exchange format. CauseWork can ingest the incumbent export, validate every record, reconcile required reports, and move Delaware through a controlled cutover rapidly.
View HUD’s HMIS CSV specification →The technical pathway can move quickly. Final timing follows the quality of the incumbent export and the CoC’s approval—not vendor delay.
CauseWork HMIS removes the cost. If Delaware chooses to continue spending the money, that choice should not be imposed on the nonprofits already doing the work.
HMIS records homelessness services. CCCI reveals the conditions surrounding them.
Every institution sees part of the community. CCCI helps decision-makers see the pattern.
Schools may see housing instability through attendance and student needs. Police may see increasing crisis calls. Hospitals may see preventable emergency use. Nonprofits may see waitlists grow while capacity falls. Housing agencies may see displacement accelerate.
Community Conditions and Capacity Intelligence connects legally governed, privacy-protected signals to show pressure, direction, capacity, and likely consequences—so leaders can act before separate warning signs become a public crisis.
Explore the CCCI Proving GroundStop making year-round decisions from one night of incomplete data.
PIT counts one night. CauseWork EPIT reveals every point in time.
Who could be counted that night?
The annual Point-in-Time count remains a required federal measure. But one night cannot continuously reveal doubled-up families, changing school instability, providers outside CMIS, unsuccessful referrals, motel placements, rising turnaways, or capacity disappearing between reports.
One night · Narrow definition · RetrospectiveWhat is happening across the community now?
CauseWork HMIS records governed homelessness services. CCCI connects approved, privacy-protected signals from schools, nonprofits, healthcare, public safety, housing, and other institutions. EPIT turns those signals into a continuously updated view of pressure, direction, capacity, and likely consequences.
Every day · Multiple systems · Decision-readyThe rescheduled statewide count included sheltered homelessness only, preventing a valid comparison of total homelessness with prior years.
HAD identified limited unsheltered information and exclusions involving nonparticipating agencies, certain motel placements, Sunday Breakfast Mission, and victim-service programs.
Free participation expands HMIS coverage. EPIT adds governed signals from outside the homelessness system so leaders can see conditions the annual count cannot.
EPIT does not replace the legally required PIT count. It prevents one incomplete annual snapshot from being mistaken for the complete condition of the community.
Share the signal.
Protect the person.
Approved, privacy-protected community signals and legally authorized aggregates showing changing need, service pressure, available capacity, and outcomes.
Student names, medical records, police narratives, criminal histories, and identifiable HMIS case records remain inside the appropriate protected system.
Each contributor controls its source records. Community governance defines approved measures, purposes, access, retention, suppression, and disclosure.
Free HMIS is not a sales condition.
No Delaware provider has to purchase CauseWorkHub to participate in the community HMIS.
Organizations that want a complete nonprofit operating system may separately choose CauseWorkHub for people, programs, cases, HR, grants, funding, governance, files, forms, communications, evidence, and outcomes.
That choice never determines whether an authorized provider can access HMIS, contribute approved CCCI signals, coordinate services, report its work, receive support, or retrieve its data.
If Delaware can remove the software barrier, why should the barrier continue?
Delaware already invests public resources in homelessness coordination and HMIS administration. CauseWork is prepared to eliminate software licensing and per-user participation charges while expanding provider participation, community control, and decision intelligence.
Give every provider a door in—and give decision-makers the view they have been missing.
CauseWork HMIS is available to the Delaware Continuum of Care and every authorized participating Delaware nonprofit at no licensing cost, without exception.
