Project Overview
The Work & The Why
Community Homeless Solutions runs nine programs across Monterey and San Benito Counties, from domestic violence shelters and a respite center to permanent supportive housing and a youth housing program. Someone in crisis, a referring agency, a donor and a job seeker all land on the same website, and each needs a different next step.
Flying Donut Media built a custom-designed site, with a "Get Help Now" path on every page. Programs are presented as one clear directory with a location label and a named contact for each, so visitors can call the right person right away. Online donations support one-time and recurring gifts, tribute gifts and secure card payments, and hiring runs through a Careers section and a multi-page online application. A custom Quick Exit button is included for visitors on the domestic violence page for those who need to leave the site quickly.
Project Highlights
- Help first: a "Get Help Now" banner and button on the home page, plus a programs page that opens with the main phone line and two 24-hour domestic violence helplines
- Program directory: nine programs, each with a location label, a one-line description and a named staff contact, kept in one place with a custom shortcode and custom fields to help keep all program directors manageble from one place
- Quick Exit: a custom plugin that lets a visitor leave the site instantly, built for people who may not be safe to be seen browsing the domestic violence page
- Giving and hiring: online giving, recurring gifts, tributes and PDF receipts for donors, and a Careers section with a multi-page online application that applicants can save and finish later
