The
Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB) promotes
self-help housing and community building in low-income
neighborhoods and supports the nation's largest
network of resident-controlled, limited-equity
housing co-operatives in New York City. UHAB works
with more than 1,000 buildings in the city, the
tenant leaders of which have widely varying levels
of experience.
UHAB is charged with providing technical assistance
to its network's buildings, but its paper documentation--including
management agreements, building maintenance books
and course catalogs—was expensive to produce
and disseminate broadly. These documents were
often difficult to find in different offices and
buildings around the city. In addition, some of
the buildings' leadership and tenants required
documents in Spanish and other languages and had
relatively limited English language skills. |
“dtSearch
integrated very well with our taxonomy and
online navigation.”

Contegra converted all UHAB’s paper and
electronic files into a universal HTML format and
created a comprehensive Web site featuring the complete
collection of UHAB documents. The resulting solution
enables tenants to locate important building information
quickly and easily, and puts a system in place for
delivering updates and new documents efficiently.
As a search engine for the site, Contegra chose
dtSearch. "We chose the dtSearch Engine because
of its features and functionality," said
Rob Wiesenberg, President, Contegra Systems. "dtSearch
integrated very well with our taxonomy and online
navigation."
