Case Study: Homeboy Industries

Overview

Homeboy Industries has stood for decades as a beacon of hope in Los Angeles, offering community, love and kinship to over 8,000 former gang members annually. In an effort to make positive change in these men and women’s lives, Homeboy Industries provides services such as parenting classes, anger management and tattoo removal to support their re-entry, and as they integrate back into their families and the workforce, with newfound confidence and stability. Care4 Software, the leading software platform for evidenced-based treatment practices has partnered with Homeboy Industries, the premier gang rehabilitation and re-entry program, to do more to empower former gang members to reclaim their lives.

Care4 Software is committed to understanding and accommodating complex workflows to help create a more integrated, intuitive, and effective approach to treatment.

Streamlining data processes to enable effective treatment has always been a challenge for case managers and service providers. Care4 Software is committed to understanding and accommodating complex workflows to help create a more integrated, intuitive, and effective approach to treatment.

Spending more time helping people reclaim their lives.

“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Care4. They understand what we’re doing and are committed to helping us get the best out of our organization so that we can spend more time doing what we’re meant to do, and that’s helping people reclaim their lives. The ability to drastically reduce the amount of redundant and repetitive work will be liberating for our staff. Care4 will go a long way in helping us focus on our program participants rather than spreadsheets.”

Challenges

Technological challenges made it difficult for Homeboy Industries to share data effectively so that case work could be managed more systematically. The challenge was to ensure that everything in the treatment and rehabilitation cycle could be as efficient as possible so case managers and other service providers could spend their valuable time with clients, not on redundant paperwork.

In-house data management capability was limited
Data sharing between departments was difficult
Teams were often engaged in redundant tasks
Case progress was difficult to track and consolidate

Solution

Care4 was able to guide teams through every step of the transition process saving everyone time and promoting an enthusiastic adoption. Care4 was able to implement, on-board, and train the Homeboy Industries teams in a matter of weeks. Once the system was implemented, Homeboy Industries was able to empower their teams to easily manage case work in a single system that allowed for data sharing across departments.

Homeboy Industries now manages case work in a much more effective way
On-site training through Care4 Coaches ensured a smooth transition
Case managment and data sharing are now available throughout the organization
