Why this exists

Wichita has the beds. Finding them shouldn't take days.

Wichita has 25+ programs and 87 shelter beds — each with its own intake, rules, and hours. People call seven numbers and sleep outside while beds sit empty.

One Door is not another shelter. It's one interface for every bed and housing pathway in the city.
