HACLA Chooses the Impact Suite for AmeriCorps Member Files and Timesheets

HACLA Logo

When you’re starting an AmeriCorps program, you have to decide where member documents will live, who will approve service hours, and how you’ll know if someone is falling behind. For its first AmeriCorps program, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) chose the America Learns Impact Suite for AmeriCorps timesheet software and member file management.

Helping Angelenos stay housed

Getting the keys to a home is a milestone. The months that follow matter, too. It helps to have someone to turn to when a housing form is confusing, when you need to apply for a job online, or when you’re figuring out what support is available.

That’s where HACLA’s AmeriCorps members come in. Members serve in Section 8 offices, permanent supportive housing communities, and WorkSource Centers. They help residents connect with services, build digital skills, and prepare for employment. They’re also getting firsthand experience in public service, right here in Los Angeles.

What can AmeriCorps timesheet software and member file tools do?

The America Learns Impact Suite brings electronic member files and timesheets into one platform built for AmeriCorps programs. Here’s what that looks like in a typical week:

  • Program staff can keep documents such as member service agreements together in each member’s file.
  • Members can log service hours on the web or in the mobile app and see whether they’re on pace to finish their term — and if not, learn what they need to do to catch up.
  • Supervisors can review and approve timesheets, with reminders for outstanding submissions and approvals.

Seeing that a member is behind on hours while there’s still time to adjust their schedule can make for a very different conversation than finding out in their last week. That’s the kind of everyday work we want to make easier.

As a Los Angeles-based company, we’re especially glad to support this work close to home. Welcome, HACLA! We’re glad to be on your team.
