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.
Rosa, house manager
Nobody had to remember a sticky note by the office phone.
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
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.
The experience
Dana's phone: her onboarding documents, one page at a time, with a place to sign each one when she's ready.
The potential value
Dana's first conversation at Persevere House could be about her, not her paperwork.
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
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.
The experience
Dana's phone: her request to spend Saturday with her sister, sent. Staff review the request and approve it.
The potential value
Dana could ask once and see the answer on her phone, instead of asking whoever happens to be on duty.
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
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.
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.
The potential value
Dana could move on with goals that are still hers and a plan she helped write.
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.
