The foster care system is overloaded, outdated, and often unsafe for children. Data lags by years, children go missing without accountability, and caseworkers face crushing caseloads. Before we can fix outcomes for kids, we must first fix the system itself.
Phase 1 introduces the HMK Interactive SIIS technology and the Bridge Program — tools designed to bring real-time transparency, accountability, and stability into foster care. For the first time, agencies, caseworkers, and communities will have the data they need to identify missing children, measure outcomes, and guide children toward permanent homes.
By transforming the role of the caseworker through technology and structured support, Phase 1 reduces overload, strengthens retention, and allows social workers to do what they entered the profession to do: protect and place children.
Without a stable system, children are left vulnerable, families drop out of the process, and caseworkers burn out. Phase 1 ensures every child’s story is tracked, every caseworker is supported, and every decision is informed by real-time data.
