Throughout my five years working at a street homeless outreach program, I witnessed the frustration clients would experience as they attempted to navigate services. Clients would come to our office seeking help, take a deep breath, and brace themselves as they began sharing their story, often recounting traumatic experiences. All too often, they were not eligible and I'd redirect them to other organizations where they'd have to retell their story to yet another provider. The Unite Us Platform not only relieves clients of that burden, but it also ensures their stated needs are addressed promptly and holistically.
