What it does

👨‍👩‍👧

Licensed families

Each family: license, capacity, specialties (medical, sibling groups, teens), preferences, training completion. Re-license reminders.

🧒

Youth profiles

Confidential profile: age, trauma history, school, medical, siblings, placement history. Access-controlled per worker assignment. HIPAA-mindful design.

🏠

Placement matching

Given a youth's needs + a family's capacity, rank best fits. Placement record with start date, workers, emergency contacts, school-district info.

📝

Case notes

Per-placement running notes from social workers. Structured observations. Critical incidents flagged. Court-preparation packets generated from notes.

🛌

Respite scheduling

Weekend / overnight respite coordination. Licensed respite families roster. Scheduling with conflict detection. Travel expense tracking.

🔒

Agency-owned

Flask + SQLite. Child/family PII stays on your agency server. Per-user role-based access. Audit trail. Not a data-broker SaaS.
