Accuracy is the whole point
The hardest part is keeping Baltimore City resource info current and correct. That's exactly what we're building — verification, not guesses.
Built with people, not just for them
We work with a formerly homeless advisor — lived experience shapes what we build, not just who it's for.
Help people in crisis find help, fast.
Housing, food, care and legal aid are the social determinants that decide how long someone stays in crisis — and the services already exist.
What's missing is a trust layer: infrastructure that keeps every listing verified with the provider, routes a person to the one that will actually take them tonight, and lets shelters, clinics and outreach teams see the same current picture.
Without it, resources are distributed by rumor, and people pay for the gap with their health.
