First in launched in 2007, the Homeless Hub is an online research library and information resource representing an innovative step forward in the use of the new technology and media to enhance knowledge mobilization and networking. The Homeless Hub has emerged as a place where community services providers, researchers, government representatives, and the general public can access and share research, stories, and best practices.
In 2013, the team behind Homeless Hub, decided to re-design and re-launch the website and implement major improvements to enhance the visitor experience and the quality of the content offered. VerticalWave Solutions participated together with the Homeless Hub team to create a plan for re-development and migration of the website. The VerticalWave team, led the development and implementation efforts during the project which was successfully launched in February of 2014. Afterwards our team continued to optimize, support and maintain the newly launched website.
