The NJ Statewide HMIS Collaborative has selected A.W.AR.D.S. software from Foothold Technology as its HMIS software solution.  A.W.A.R.D.S. provides a state of the art Web-based software technology.  The A.W.A.R.D.S. software solution is a computerized data collection tool specifically designed to capture client level system wide (statewide) information over time on the characteristics and service needs of men, women, and children experiencing homelessness.  The HMIS collaborative will make available the Foothold Technology software to participating agencies along with training, technical support, user groups at significantly low costs achieved through economies of scale through the development of the collaborative.
