Schools lack systems to identify, track, and support homeless students' basic needs

K-12 educators in high-growth areas like Central Florida are overwhelmed identifying homeless students and connecting them to shelter, food, transportation, and hygiene resources. Teachers and counselors spend hours manually searching for local services, coordinating across fragmented agencies, and documenting cases without integrated tools. Current solutions rely on outdated spreadsheets, inconsistent reporting, and reactive crisis management rather than proactive support systems.
