SHIPTools to Remain Available Under New Arrangement

Despite HAP's current transition, we are pleased to announce that SHIPTools, HAP's Web-based management system, will remain available to all state SHIP programs under new ownership and management.

Effective April 1, ownership and management of SHIPTools will transfer to Gradient Blue, LLC, a private consulting firm that helps non-profits apply technology to meet their program needs. HAP has partnered closely with Gradient Blue for the past five years to develop Web applications and solutions that meet the individual needs of state SHIP programs. We would like to thank Families USA, HAP's parent organization, as well as Gradient Blue, for continuing to offer the SHIPTools application to interested SHIPs. 

Also effective April 1, Rachel Gussett-Williams, HAP's Director of Business Development, will leave HAP and transition to Gradient Blue in order to continue to provide implementation support for new and existing SHIPTools clients, including Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan.

If you have questions about SHIPTools and Gradient Blue, please contact us. After March 31, please contact Rachel Gussett-Williams at Rachel@GradientBlue.com.

Sincerely,
The HAP Team
