Shelter Full? The Grove Helps You Quickly Find Alternatives in Your Network

If you’re a case manager, outreach worker, or part of a crisis response team, you’ve probably faced this moment:

The client is ready. They’ve said yes.
But your program is full.
And you’re not sure who else to call—or what’s actually available.

It’s one of the most difficult realities of this work: being ready to help, but not having the resources to follow through.

That’s why we built The Grove—a real-time, cross-agency shelter bed platform designed to help you move quickly when space is tight, and act confidently when every second matters.

 

One Central Tool for Shelter Search and Collaboration

The Grove makes it possible to:

  • Search for shelter availability across your local network in real time

  • Access bed information from any device—whether you’re in the field or on-call

  • Filter by bed type, population served, program model, and more

  • Coordinate with nearby providers, including youth, DV, and transitional housing

  • Refer or connect directly to programs that are reporting open beds

  • Seamlessly continue services by connecting to Safe Stays when shelter isn’t available

With The Grove, you’re not just stuck calling shelter after shelter—you have visibility into what’s open, right now.

 

No Beds Available? You Still Have Options.

When no shelter beds are available, The Grove makes it easy to pivot to Safe Stays—ReloShare’s platform that allows approved agencies to book hotel rooms under an alias with no credit card or ID required at check-in.

This gives your team a trauma-informed, flexible alternative that ensures your client doesn’t fall through the cracks just because traditional housing is unavailable.

For funders who require proof that you’ve exhausted all options before placing someone in a hotel, The Grove serves as your documentation. You can show:

  • When you searched

  • Which shelters were full

  • What other options were unavailable at the time of need

 

For Years, You’ve Been Showing What You Did. Now You Can Show What You Couldn’t.

Agencies have been tracking and reporting outcomes like:

“This year, we supported 312 people through hotel stays.”

But what about all the people you had to turn away because there were no beds?
What about the unmet need that never made it into your reports?

The Grove finally gives you a way to:

  • 📈 Track how many referrals came through

  • 📊 See where you had openings vs. where you had to say no

  • 💡 Identify trends in service gaps and placement breakdowns

  • 📣 Use data to advocate for more resources, not just justify the ones you have

You can now say:

“We received 75 shelter requests this month, but only had space for 18.”

That kind of data doesn’t just tell a story. It builds a case for deeper investment, smarter planning, and a stronger continuum of care.

 

Built for the People Doing the Work

Whether you're placing a client at 11pm or debriefing the week's referrals on a Friday morning, The Grove was built with you in mind. It’s:

  • Mobile-friendly

  • Easy to use

  • Updated in real-time

  • Open to frontline workers, not just shelter managers or system administrators

You deserve tools that reflect the urgency—and dignity—of the work you’re doing every day.
