Active events

Three concurrent signals at 13:00.

Surge

Red Cross activation — severe-weather cell overnight

~60 displaced residents absorbed into the regular shelter network. 211 Kansas overloaded; standard intake queue backing up behind emergency caseload.

Outage

Open Door offline — emergency roof repair (48–72h)

Highest-volume daytime walk-in hub closed. Center of Hope absorbing overflow at reduced hours — exactly during the surge. Walk-in bottleneck imminent.

Capacity

CrossRoads at 1/12 — 4 youth incoming (DCF)

Transition-age youth with foster-placement disruptions from the same weather event expected to present within 72h. BRIDGES has no vacancy. Youth-specific pathway is narrow.

Three-layer cost — stress mode

Every displacement event compounds across placement, mobility, and food access.

01
Housing placement
Fewer available beds. Voucher-friendly units lengthen waitlists. 17/87 emergency beds reachable; reduced further during outage.
02
Mobility / access
$50 transit pass out of reach for zero-income clients. Weekday-only intake means weekend crises have no coordinated entry — only 2 sites 24/7.
03
Food insecurity
Standard SNAP = 30 days. Expedited 7-day for homeless applicants is underused. Flag homeless status explicitly at application — do not assume.
