La Halte du Coin

La Halte du Coin is a non-profit organization in the Montérégie region that provides emergency shelter and daytime service continuity for people experiencing precarity or homelessness. Opened in April 2020 during the pandemic, the resource has never closed its doors and welcomes people every night who need a safe refuge.

The first high-accessibility-threshold resource on Montreal's South Shore, La Halte du Coin meets users' basic needs and guides them, when necessary, to appropriate resources. The organization was created by Macadam-Sud, Hébergement La Casa Bernard-Hubert, and Le Repas du Passant.

From multiple Excel files to a unified platform

Simplifying user, overnight stay, and intervention tracking

Like many community organizations, La Halte du Coin previously managed user, attendance, intervention, and overnight stay tracking across many Excel files. This fragmented approach made bed planning, statistics production, and grant reporting difficult and unreliable. We developed an intuitive web application that centralizes all information, simplifies daily data entry, and ensures data consistency. With an interactive dashboard, overnight stay management with bed planning, and rigorous intervention tracking, the team is more efficient and can better demonstrate its impact to funders.

Interactive dashboard

Statistics on overnight stays, attendance, and interventions with period selection.

User management

Creation, individual tracking, notes, and per-user statistics.

Overnight stay management

Fast registration, automatic priority sorting, and bed planning.

Interventions and attendance

Intervention tracking and reconciliation of meals and services.

Warnings and exclusions

Tracking returns, re-evaluations, and planned return dates for users.

Bed planning and assignment

The overnight stay module enables fast user registration with automatic priority sorting. The team can plan and assign beds, track departures during a night, and manage bed swaps without manual re-entry.

A dashboard to steer daily operations

The dashboard centralizes the resource's key indicators: overnight stays, attendance, and interventions. The team can select the desired period to visualize trends and produce reliable statistics for planning and funder reports.

Complete user tracking

Each user has a centralized file with history, notes, and individual statistics. The warnings and exclusions module documents returns and planned re-evaluation dates, ensuring rigorous and consistent follow-up.

Results that speak for themselves

The application developed for La Halte du Coin transformed daily emergency shelter management. Since launch, the organization has gained:

  • Centralized user, overnight stay, and intervention data on a single platform

  • Less time spent on data entry and administrative tasks

  • Reliable statistics for planning and grant applications
