Hope and Key is the front door to housing recovery

One mobile app where a person in crisis finds tonight's bed, files CalFresh, housing and ID applications, joins waiting lists, and talks to a case worker — with every step saved to their profile so no one starts over.

Real numbers from our California database, refreshed every time this page loads.

For county & government agencies

• Service-level reporting: people served, waiting lists joined, and applications filed — exportable reports your contracts require.
• No more duplicate intake: a person fills their profile once; every shelter and program sees the same current answers.
• 24/7 front door: people reach beds and benefits at 2 a.m. instead of waiting for an office to open.
• Procurement-ready: documented data handling, access rules and privacy practices on our compliance page.

For rehabs & treatment centers

Recovery stalls when a client leaves treatment without housing or income. Partner programs put Hope and Key in the exit plan: clients leave with shelter options, waiting-list spots, filed applications and a direct line to a case worker.

• Your clients keep their plan, documents and case-worker thread after discharge.
• Referral status is visible — you know who connected and who still needs a bed.
• We're selecting our first founding rehab partners now; use the form below to be considered.

For investors

Hope and Key is a mission-driven startup building the data and workflow layer for homelessness response — the platform every county, shelter and rehab logs into.

• Market: billions in annual county homeless-services spending, still run on paper and phone trees.
• Model: per-seat software for providers plus government service contracts.
• wedge: free to the person in crisis — adoption grows from the bottom up, contract revenue follows.
