One Household Assessment

Capture the full picture once, accurately and respectfully

One Household Record

Create a trusted, shared record that stays with the household.

One Mobility Plan

Align services and supports around clear goals and measurable outcomes.

The Problem

Households live one life, but

programs see only pieces. That leads to duplicate forms, repeated stories, and fragmented service delivery.

📄

Duplicate Intakes

Households repeat the same information across multiple programs.

🗄️

Separate Data Systems

Silos prevent a complete view of the household and limit coordination.

🔀

Referral Burden

Staff spend more time handing off households than helping them.

What Intake1 Does

One Household Assessment

Capture a complete picture of the household once.

One Household Record

One protected household record shared only among authorized agencies, under informed consent and role-based access.

📍

One Mobility Plan

Align services and supports around the household's priorities.

📊

Shared Outcomes

Measure what matters and improve results for households and communities

One participant, shared across programs

The household tells its story once. The work is shared, not repeated.

First doorway

The first authorized program completes the assessment and the First Case Note — the shared baseline across all ten domains.

Shared baseline

Every program after opens the same record and reviews what is already known. Nobody re-interviews. Nobody rebuilds the file.

Specialists carry the work

Each specialist adds case notes only in the domain they address. Their work becomes part of one continuing household story.

One worker establishes the baseline. Many specialists carry the plan — and the household is not the messenger between them.

One protected document library.

The household shouldn't have to carry the same proof from program to program. Intake1 keeps household documents in one Protected Household Document Library — organized, verified, and version-tracked. The first doorway uploads available proof; every authorized doorway after reviews the library before asking the household to produce it again. Access to each document stays governed by authorization, role, purpose, sensitivity, and law.

Upload once.
Verify once where permitted.
Reuse across authorized programs.

Documents stay attached to the household record — tagged by member, type, source, date, verification status, and expiration.

Start with one agency

You can begin now, at the level of authority you already hold.

Single Agency

A multi-program organization makes Intake1 its internal household record and Protected Household Document Library. Intake1 is completed first; required funder paperwork is completed from the verified record. The agency reduces internal duplication now — no waiver or outside authority required.

Lead Agency

One prescribed Intake1 environment extends to formally authorized participating organizations, while each keeps its own program, fund, and document-access accountability. Partners work from the same household record under defined agreements, permissions, and shared-document rules.

Where this is headed

Single-agency practice is the proven foundation. The larger vision — authorized Lead Agency networks, a statewide demonstration, and ultimately a shared national household layer — is the direction Intake1 is built to support, and the model that independent demonstration is designed to test.

Proof of Practice

Since 2004, Project Unity has operated Intake1 across eight programs, fifty employees, and eleven funding streams — establishing the operational foundation for testing broader, cross-agency implementation.
