Mobile-Friendly, Staff-Ready: Using The Grove in the Field

When you're doing housing work on the frontlines—whether it's on a sidewalk, in a car, at a drop-in center, or after hours—you don’t have time to dig through spreadsheets or wait on callbacks. You need answers, fast.

That’s exactly why we built The Grove to be mobile-first, real-time, and field-ready.
Because when someone is ready to say yes to shelter, the last thing you want is a broken workflow or another dead end.


Meet The Grove: Built for the Way Outreach Actually Works

The Grove by ReloShare gives your team the power to:

  • 🔍 Search for shelter beds in real time

  • 📱 Access everything on mobile—no app download needed

  • 🧭 Filter by age, gender, family size, population served, and program type

  • 🗂️ See program-specific notes like check-in hours or accessibility features

  • 🤝 Coordinate across agencies and service types—without extra logins or red tape

  • 🔄 Pivot to Safe Stays to book hotel stays when shelter isn’t available

It’s fast, easy to learn, and built for use anywhere you are—in the field, in the car, or between client appointments.


Designed for Outreach Staff, Not Just Program Admins

Most housing databases and CES platforms are built for supervisors or system admins, not for people doing real-time work in the community.

The Grove flips that model.

It puts real-time information in the hands of the people who need it most, whether you're:

  • A mobile case manager supporting unsheltered clients

  • A DV advocate doing safety planning on the go

  • A youth services team placing clients directly from the field

  • An outreach worker coordinating in a rural or low-connectivity region

No complex dashboards. No waiting for approval. No need to “go back to the office.”

Just a tool that works where you do.


Use Cases: How Teams Are Using The Grove in the Field

✅ In-the-Moment Shelter Search
A client is ready to accept shelter. You open The Grove on your phone and see available beds right now. No waiting. No guesswork.

✅ Triage + Referral
You're part of a multi-agency response team. The Grove lets you see which programs can take families, youth, or DV clients—so you can connect them right away.

✅ Proof of Effort
Your program requires you to document that all shelter options were exhausted before offering hotel stays. You pull up your Grove search to show who was full—and when.

✅ Follow-Up and Relationship-Building
You refer someone to another agency. A week later, you check The Grove to see if they’ve posted availability again—strengthening inter-agency trust and communication.


No Apps. Just Access.

All your team needs is a device and a login. The Grove runs on any browser and updates in real time. If you can use a map or search bar, you can use The Grove.

And if your team needs a quick walkthrough, we’re offer free onboarding and mini-trainingss—whether you’re 2 people or 200.


See It in Action

Sign up for The Grove and help your field team:

  • Respond faster

  • Coordinate better

  • And reduce the frustration of “starting from scratch” every day

Because your team is ready. Your clients are ready.
Now your tools will be, too.
