Here’s an interesting story out of Minnesota about Day One a software program that helps domestic violence shelters connect victims to available shelter space.
From Scott Russell at MInnPost:
Here’s how it works. Say a woman calls a domestic violence shelter and the shelter is full. The advocate keeps the victim on the phone and checks the confidential web site for openings that best accommodate the victim’s needs. The victim then is connected to the shelter with space—all with a single call.
The program has been used in Minnesota and is now being tested in the Seattle area with promising results.
