H2Bravo
Community Development Block Grant Program House Monitor
Business Need
H2Bravo required a secure, web-based application to track applicants and properties for a housing recovery program for the County of Galveston, Texas. The program had to track property taxes, ownership, insurance, and lease information for these applicants for a period of three to five years. In addition, a multitude of reports, reminders, and form letters were required in order for H2Bravo staff and County of Galveston personnel to ensure that applicants stay in compliance with the CDBG program. This program had to be completed in a very compressed timeline of two months.
Our Approach
We conducted a system analysis with H2Bravo to define their objectives and requirements. Detailed end-user information needs were gathered to create a preliminary design including features, business processes, and screen layouts. Agile software development methodologies combined with extensive testing, were used to allowed us to deliver this application on time, with low project risk, while meeting all of our client’s needs.
Key Features
A user-friendly system for end users, comprehensive tracking of all 125 dates for property taxes, ownership, insurance, and lease sections for each applicant, and extensive reporting section with over 12 reports and four reminder letters in both Excel and PDF formats so that users of the system can easily track and evaluate whether an applicant is in compliance with the grant program.
