dWellKC is built for exactly this moment — connecting agencies, property managers, and clients into a single coordinated housing network across the KC metro.
Aligned with the Gateway Program
Ordinance 260140 defines six operational areas for the Housing Gateway Program. dWellKC delivers purpose-built tools for each one — ready to deploy now.
The Ledger and case financial tracking tools let administrators disburse and document short-term rental assistance, security deposits, utility payments, and transportation support — all tied to the individual client record.
Custom Intake Pipelines move individuals directly from street outreach or encampment contact to housing placement. QR-code forms require no account — a client can self-refer on a phone before a caseworker even arrives.
Role-appropriate views give city officials, agency directors, and private partners a unified operating picture without exposing sensitive client data. Visibility Policies let each organization control exactly what they share across the network.
The interactive metro map surfaces vacant units in real time across both sides of the state line — KC, MO to Merriam and Lenexa, KS. Property managers can list units and accept placements without learning new software.
Every field visit, observation, move-in, and milestone is logged with GPS precision. The Activity Feed gives the advisory board real-time data to report to City Council — not estimates, actual placements.
dWellKC is designed to plug into existing HMIS data flows, not replace them. SHA-256 identity matching deduplicates clients across agencies so federal funds are tracked accurately and coordinated — not duplicated.
The Housing Gateway Program is about moving beyond conversation and into action — a critical first step towards a long-term, more comprehensive approach that brings real results.

Built for the field
Whether staff are conducting street outreach, property inspections, or reviewing outcomes with City leadership, dWellKC keeps everyone in the same system.
From outreach to stable housing
Four steps. One platform. Measurable outcomes the advisory board can report to City Council.
Field staff start a visit from the street. Clients self-refer via QR code or a caseworker logs GPS contact at a known encampment.
SHA-256 identity verification deduplicates across agencies. Pipeline stages route each client to the right program automatically.
Live metro-wide vacancy map connects clients to available units. Landlord partners accept placements and sign leases inside the platform.
Caseworkers track goals, to-dos, and subsidy use. The City's advisory board pulls outcome data directly — no manual reporting.
