A day at Persevere House

  1. First night

    Chapter 1 of 4: A welcome, not a stack of forms

    Before

    It's late. Dana has a clipboard, a pile of forms and a pen that keeps skipping. She signs where she's told. There's no time to read.

    After

    Dana reads her onboarding documents on her phone, at her own pace, and signs them right there. Her paperwork is done before she unpacks.

  2. 9:14 PM

    Chapter 2 of 4: One request, one clear answer

    Before

    Dana asks to visit her sister on Saturday. The answer lives on a sticky note by the office phone. By morning, two staff members remember it differently.

    After

    Dana sends a pass request from her phone. Staff review the request and approve it, and Dana sees the answer on her phone.

    Dana, resident

    I asked once, and the answer came to my phone.

  3. Day 30

    Chapter 3 of 4: Goals she set herself

    Before

    Goals used to be written on an intake form and filed away. Weeks could pass before anyone looked at them again.

    After

    Dana set her goals in her own words during her first week. Today she checks off the first one.

    Dana, resident

    I wrote them myself. Checking off the first one meant something.

  4. Moving on

    Chapter 4 of 4: A plan for what comes next

    Before

    Leaving used to mean a rushed talk on the last day and a sheet of phone numbers.

    After

    Dana and Rosa build her exit plan together in the weeks before she moves. Dana signs it remotely, from her new place.

COMPASS

Why it matters

COMPASS is a Persevere product, developed by Banyan Labs to address practical challenges in Persevere's transitional housing operations. It offers a case-management-focused approach for organizations that support residents, coordinate services, and follow progress over time, informed by the realities of reentry and the people who have lived and supported those transitions.

  • Better coordination

  • Residents send pass requests from their phone and see the answer there.

  • Residents set goals in their own words and check them off as they go.

Step 1 of 4

Arriving at Persevere House

The challenge

Rosa has new residents arriving all week. Every welcome starts with a packet of acknowledgments, and a resident's first hour goes to signatures instead of settling in.

Arriving at Persevere House

  1. The challenge

    Rosa has new residents arriving all week. Every welcome starts with a packet of acknowledgments, and a resident's first hour goes to signatures instead of settling in.

  2. The experience

    Dana's phone: her onboarding documents, one page at a time, with a place to sign each one when she's ready.

  3. The potential value

    Dana's first conversation at Persevere House could be about her, not her paperwork.

  4. The partnership invitation

    Dana's story is illustrative. The first nights in your houses are real. See how COMPASS could fit your housing and reentry operations.

One request, one clear answer

  1. The challenge

    Dana's week runs on the house calendar: work, signing in and out, a house meeting on Monday night. When she asks about the weekend, the overnight staff member isn't sure what was promised.

  2. The experience

    Dana's phone: her request to spend Saturday with her sister, sent. Staff review the request and approve it.

  3. The potential value

    Dana could ask once and see the answer on her phone, instead of asking whoever happens to be on duty.

  4. The partnership invitation

    A clear answer, given once, tells a resident she was heard. See how COMPASS could fit your housing and reentry operations.

Goals she chose, and a plan for what's next

  1. The challenge

    Dana knows what she wants from her time at Persevere House: steady work, and a place of her own by spring. Holding on to that through a hard week is the difficult part.

  2. The experience

    Dana's phone: her goals, in her own words, with the first one checked off. Then her exit plan, ready for her to sign remotely.

  3. The potential value

    Dana could move on with goals that are still hers and a plan she helped write.

  4. The partnership invitation

    Moving on should feel like the next step, not a goodbye at the door. See how COMPASS could fit your housing and reentry operations.
