Records that survive hard nights
In most shelters the record is what falls away first when the night gets hard — not because anyone is hiding anything, but because staff are overwhelmed. ShelterNow is intended to make recording easier, not optional.
Software
ShelterNow
Firebird is building its own shelter-management platform so records, privacy, spending, and day-to-day operations can reflect Firebird's standards instead of being shaped entirely by a vendor's system.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Why build it
Software as infrastructure.
Privacy by design
ShelterNow is built to protect client identity while still making operations documentable and organizational spending publishable.
Operational accountability
Records are intended to let Firebird look back at decisions and determine whether a change actually worked.
Live bed count
A live bed count is planned. It will show how many beds are open, never who is in them.
