Shelters manage inventory using automated systems that streamline processes and save time.
Outreach staff access real time local shelter availability and information, all in one place.
Designed with outreach staff, shelter managers, and others working to end homelessness in San Diego County, professional outreach workers use Shelter Ready to find the right local emergency shelter that meets the needs of their clients.
How It Works
Outreach workers enter brief, non-identifying client information and can immediately view local shelters that have appropriate and available space. Once a space is reserved, Shelter Ready holds it and notifies the shelter of a confirmed new guest. That space is taken out of inventory.
​
Shelters receive the information and follow their own processes. Automated systems keep available and reserved space updated.
​
​​​​When your client is ready for shelter, use Shelter Ready, today.
