Resident journey
A simple sequence for food access questions.
Move one step at a time: name the need, choose the right route, prepare the contact, and follow up carefully.
1
Name the need
Food today, groceries this week, meal support, transportation questions, or a referral to another support.
2
Choose the right route
Use partner or official program information when needed, and keep the next support step clear.
3
Prepare the next contact
Write down what to ask, what documents may be needed, and whether hours or eligibility rules need confirmation.
4
Follow up carefully
Track whether the resident found help, needs another route, or should be referred to an official provider.
Reports being prepared
Resident-guide reporting will summarize what people needed help finding.
The report will focus on common guide questions, route gaps, and practical follow-up needs after the reporting period closes.
