How it works

Step one

You tell it once

One conversation, in your own words, at your own pace. You decide what to share.

Step two

You get a real path

Personalized, step-by-step guidance toward housing, financial support, and recovery resources you actually qualify for. Not a list of 400 links.

Step three

You stay in control

Reminders when something needs doing, and opt-in connection to organizations. You decide who to connect with. Always. Nothing is shared without you choosing it.

What MAE does

Five features. One clear next step.

Feature 01

Single Intake

Tell your story once.

One guided conversation replaces the stack of intake forms. People answer in their own words, at their own pace, and share the result only with the providers they choose. No repeated questions, no retelling the hardest parts.

Feature 02

Personalized Next Steps

A real path, not a list of links.

Based on what someone shares, MAE builds step-by-step guidance toward housing, healthcare, legal help, and benefits, with reminders when something needs doing and clear next actions at every stage.

Feature 03

Provider Portal

Referrals that arrive complete.

Organizations see the context a person chose to share, accept or route referrals, and update status in one place. Your team stops spending intake calls collecting information that already exists.

Feature 04

Outcomes Dashboard

See what is actually working.

Track referrals made, accepted, and completed, time to first connection, and where people get stuck. A clear view built for leadership, funders, and the board.

Feature 05

Built for real life

Designed for the hardest days.

Mobile first, written in plain language, and trauma-informed from the first screen. People control who sees their information and can change that at any time.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What is MAE?

Yes, to individuals, permanently. Organizations license it, which is what funds it.
You decide. Nothing is shared with any organization unless you choose to connect with them.
No. You can use MAE purely to find out what exists and what you qualify for, and never contact a single organization.
