How the system works
Org submits a claim
Organization files a structured form via the claim portal. Takes 10–20 min.
Community admin reviews
A trained admin in the org's geographic zone verifies the submission and approves or denies.
Listing goes live
Approved orgs appear in search, map views, and the 211-compatible API with a confidence score.
Org maintains their record
The host portal gives the org an authenticated workspace to update hours, services, and locations at any time.
