Why do we need an application for each person to have installed.
What happened to good old-fashioned caseworkers who got to know each aid recipient (homeless person) and understood the needs/issues for each person and was the advocate for the person to help resolve the issues around receiving the aid that currently available...maybe I being too naive
- Kalium 8y agoYou're right! Caseworkers are absolutely critical to a functional social services system! Perhaps they could use a records management system that helps them keep track of everything across a sizable, and maybe not perfectly coordinated, series of agencies? It might even make it easier to advocate for our vulnerable neighbors and friends who need understanding, compassion, and assistance. Right now I'm sure you're thinking "Surely SF caseworkers have something like that!". And that's a very reasonable assumption to make - they certainly do now. They didn't before, when care and aid for those who are unhoused was more disorganized.
