Why Professionals Trust Us

We built our intake process around the needs of referring professionals — not the other way around.

24-Hour Response

We acknowledge every referral within 24 hours and contact the client directly. You won't be left wondering if your referral was received or acted on.

Transparent Updates

You'll hear from us at intake, at 30 days, and upon any status changes. We close the loop — because you shouldn't have to chase us for information.

No Runaround

One call, one contact. No committee review. No 2-week waitlist for screening. Your clients get a real answer, fast — and so do you.

Partner Organizations

Who We Accept Referrals From

We partner directly with the agencies and professionals who serve our shared clients every day. Here's how each relationship works.

Probation & Parole Officers

Reentry

Stable housing is a condition of release for many of your clients. We provide structured housing with house rules, curfews, and case management that aligns with supervision requirements. We'll notify you of any compliance issues.

DCF / ChildNet Case Managers

Foster Care Aging Out

We serve foster care youth ages 18–24 aging out of the system. We coordinate with your case plans and provide regular progress reports to ensure continuity of support through the transition.

AVDA & DV Advocates

DV Survivors

We provide transitional housing for survivors who have completed shelter stays. We can work confidentially and maintain safety protocols — including address restrictions when needed for client protection.

Hospital Discharge Planners

Medical Discharge

When a patient has nowhere safe to go, we can often facilitate placement within the same week. We have connections to the full social service ecosystem and can coordinate wraparound support at intake.

211 Operators

Crisis Line

When someone calls 211 needing transitional housing, we want to be on your referral list. We have beds available now and maintain real-time availability so you can refer with confidence.

Drug Court Coordinators

Drug Court

Reentry clients in Drug Court often need stable housing as a program condition. We understand program requirements, maintain communication with coordinators, and report compliance issues proactively.
