Nonprofits · Los Angeles
Built for LA nonprofits reporting to Measure A, HMIS, and three funders at once.
Los Angeles nonprofits operate under one of the most complex compliance environments in the country — Measure A, AB 977, HMIS, LAHSA data standards, and funder-specific reporting formats stacked on top. I build custom web tools specifically for this environment: intake systems, compliance dashboards, integrations, and AI workflows. Built by someone who worked inside a Los Angeles nonprofit before writing production code.
Who this is for
LA nonprofits dealing with real operational problems — not organizations that just need a website refresh.
- Homeless service providers with LAHSA, HUD CoC, or ESG funding who need HMIS integrations that work in the field
- Workforce development organizations running CalJOBS who need intake tools without double-entry
- Organizations under Measure A or AB 977 requirements still assembling compliance reports manually
- Social services nonprofits on Bonterra ETO who need custom reporting beyond what the platform provides
- EDs and COOs who need board reports and funder packets generated automatically
- Immigration, legal services, and disability nonprofits needing multilingual tools
What I build
Specific tools for LA's compliance and reporting stack. Not generic nonprofit software.
HMIS and CalJOBS intake tools
Mobile-capable intake forms that write directly to HMIS or CalJOBS on submission. Offline sync for field staff without reliable connectivity. No parallel spreadsheet, no manual upload at end of day.
Measure A and multi-funder compliance dashboards
Dashboards that pull from your existing data sources and assemble compliance reports in the formats your funders require. Measure A, AB 977, LAHSA, HUD — tracked in one place, exportable in the right format.
AI-assisted case notes and grant drafting
Case note translation from Spanish to English. Grant application first drafts from prior successful submissions. Board report narratives generated from QuickBooks data. One use case built and validated before expanding.
Bonterra ETO and Salesforce NPSP integrations
Custom data pipelines connecting Bonterra ETO, Salesforce NPSP, QuickBooks Online, and HMIS. Documented data models. Built to be maintainable by anyone with basic technical knowledge.
