Wichita No Wrong Door
Oracle Track — 90-day pilot dashboard, operating model, and business case for Wichita's $500K homelessness prevention and foster-youth transition challenge. This solution coordinates existing Wichita providers — it does not create a parallel system.
🚨

Curveball Active — Emergency Reroute Mode

Open Door is offline (48–72 hrs). 211 Kansas is overloaded. CrossRoads is at 1 of 12 beds with 4 foster-placement disruptions incoming. The system has shifted to alternate intake routing: Center of Hope absorbs daytime overflow, SOUL Family and DCF IL prioritize the 4 disrupted youth, and the intake queue deprioritizes non-urgent cases to protect capacity. No-wrong-door logic stays intact — the front door just moves.

90-day scorecard
Oracle Deliverable Breakdown

Use of Funds

  • $140K — Intake + case-management coordination
  • $110K — Readiness, documents, transportation
  • $100K — Marketing, trust-building, adoption
  • $90K — Analytics, reporting, renewal proof
  • $60K — Contingency for emergency adaptation

Prioritization Model

  • Highest urgency first (weather displacement)
  • Disrupted foster youth next (4 incoming)
  • Document-ready placements move faster
  • Best-fit bed + program matching by need
  • No youth-only lane — integrated flow

Youth Handoff Failure

  • 12.5% of youth have no intake record at all
  • 0.3% employed at age 17 — 17% already homeless
  • By 21: 42% homeless, 44% employed
  • 77.2% of program slots go unused
  • KanCare dropout rate: 42% — highest in system

Cost of Instability

  • Repeated referrals waste case-manager hours
  • Failed handoffs add delay + rework per person
  • Unstable housing increases ER + crisis-system load
  • Longer waits reduce successful placement rates
  • Coordination is cheaper than repeat crisis cycling

Transition Bottleneck

  • SNAP Enrollment: 30-day processing delay
  • KanCare Enrollment: 21 days
  • Birth cert + SSN add 2 more weeks
  • Affordable units cluster in high-risk, low-transit zones
  • Document speed + transit access must be solved together

Renewal Case

  • Year-two justified if failed handoffs drop measurably
  • Bed matching improves over 90-day baseline
  • Document completion rate rises above 60%
  • Youth follow-through tracked end-to-end
  • Landlord response rate proves market confidence

Curveball adaptation: The prioritization model reroutes intake away from Open Door to Center of Hope and NEXTenant for the next 48–72 hours. The 4 disrupted foster youth are flagged as Priority 1 in the queue. 211 overflow is absorbed via a direct provider-contact list distributed to outreach workers.
Renewal signal: If the 90-day pilot demonstrates a 20%+ reduction in failed handoffs and documents completed before placement, Wichita has a strong case for year-two funding and system-wide adoption.
