Our mission

No one should have to figure out homelessness alone

First contact

01

Public intake flow

When someone like Maya, Denise, or Robert reaches out for help, they shouldn't have to guess which door to knock on. This mobile-first intake meets people where they are and connects them to the right resource in minutes—not days.

  • A simple, guided conversation that understands each person's unique situation
  • Instant connection to the shelter, program, or support that fits their needs
  • A personal Digital Backpack so residents never lose track of their documents or progress

Staff workflow

02

Case-manager dashboard

Case managers deserve to spend their time helping people—not hunting through spreadsheets. This dashboard gives staff a single source of truth so they can focus on what matters: moving residents toward stability.

  • One clear view of every resident's journey from intake to stable housing
  • Smart task lists that surface the most urgent actions first
  • Automatic alerts when a handoff stalls so no one falls through the cracks

Smart matching

03

Bed and pathway fit matcher

Every person's situation is different. The fit matcher finds the right bed, program, or housing option based on who they are—not just what's available—so residents land in places where they can actually succeed.

  • Personalized recommendations that respect family composition, age, and individual needs
  • Real-time visibility into what's open across Wichita's shelter and housing network
  • Clear explanations of why each option is a good fit and what steps come next

Eligibility support

04

Document-and-benefits checklist

Missing paperwork shouldn't block someone's path to housing. This checklist keeps documents and benefits organized so residents can prove their eligibility and access the support they've earned.

  • Step-by-step guidance to obtain ID, health coverage, and essential benefits
  • Progress tracking that shows exactly what's done and what's left
  • Shared visibility so residents and staff stay aligned on next steps

Youth support

05

Youth transition navigator

Young people aging out of foster care or facing instability deserve more than a list of phone numbers. This navigator walks alongside them with clear steps, real connections, and a record of progress that follows them.

  • Direct pathways to youth-focused programs like Second Light, BRIDGES, and DCF IL
  • Plain-language guidance for school enrollment, first jobs, IDs, and benefits
  • A continuous record that prevents young people from starting over at every new agency

Progress tracking

06

Housing readiness tracker

The journey from crisis to stable housing is long—but it doesn't have to be invisible. This tracker shows residents and staff exactly where they stand, what's complete, and what's next on the path home.

  • Visual progress from crisis intake through stabilization to permanent placement
  • Shared dashboard so residents, case managers, and partners all see the same status
  • Milestones designed to demonstrate measurable progress within 90 days

User journey

What the working prototype should demonstrate end to end

1

Crisis intake

A resident enters through a mobile-first flow, shares immediate needs, and gets routed into the right Wichita pathway without guessing which door to knock on.

2

Staff action

The case-manager dashboard shows fit recommendations, blockers, and next tasks so outreach and case teams can act from one shared source of truth.

3

Transition follow-through

Documents, benefits, youth support, and housing readiness are all tracked until the resident reaches a stable next step.
