A family of five is sitting in a parking lot at midnight. A social worker has 30 minutes before the family stops cooperating. Right now, that social worker is making phone calls — to shelters that may be closed, full, or unable to serve that family's specific needs.

No more midnight phone calls.

The Gap

In most US communities, there is no shared system for real-time shelter bed availability. The result: families wait while workers make calls.

What This Does

An outreach worker searches for available beds on their phone. Before real-time availability, outreach workers spent hours to days making phone calls to find a bed (NBC San Diego, 2025). They see what's open right now, hold a bed in three taps, and the shelter coordinator knows they're coming. The platform protects domestic violence shelter locations through zero-PII referral design — no client name, no address in the system, ever. It's free, open-source, and self-hosted — your community owns its data.
