reversebus continuum of care

our continuum of care is a fully mobile, scalable ecosystem that delivers essential services directly to people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty—wherever they are. by aligning with hud’s continuum of care framework, we turn traditional barriers upside‑down.

mobility

meeting people where they are
  • dynamic deployment: each module (freevend, washbus, eatbus, sleepbus, carebus, reversepod) is fully vehicle‑mounted, so you can reposition resources in real time based on emerging hotspots, outreach data, or scheduled pop‑ups in high‑need communities.

  • coordinated entry on wheels: instead of a single fixed intake point, street teams and freevend units can deploy out across multiple corridors—parks, encampments, transit hubs—capturing people who’d otherwise never enter a traditional shelter or clinic.

  • on‑demand healthcare & referrals: carebus units equipped for triage can roll up to community events, mental‑health drop‑in sites, or partner agency locations—eliminating transportation barriers for vulnerable clients.

elasticity

scaling capacity as need grows
  • modular fleet expansion: because each “bus” is essentially a plug‑and‑play module, we simply deploy more buses or freevend units to match rising demand—no new construction or brick‑and‑mortar delays required.

  • surge response & seasonal flex: in winter or during extreme‑weather spikes, we can deploy extra sleepbus/ reversepod units; in heat waves, add eatbus hydration stations; during public‑health campaigns, roll out more carebus telehealth kiosks.

  • data‑driven growth: our vaassist/hmis dashboard flags capacity thresholds (e.g., utilization rates > 90%), triggering automated alerts to onboard new units exactly where—and when—they’re needed most.

our coc model

coordinated entry & outreach

be meet individuals at the point of need through our freevend units and street teams, conducting rapid assessments and guiding them seamlessly into our network of support.

prevention & diversion

our washbus and eatbus modules stabilize crises before they become emergencies, offering showers, laundry, hot meals, and hydration to keep people safe on the streets.

emergency shelter

sleepbus and reversepod units provide immediate, dignified overnight shelter—right in the communnities where people already live.

transitional housing

reversepod units transform into 30–90‑day transitional homes, complete with onboard case‑management offices to build longer‑term pathways off the streets.

rapid re‑housing

our fleet flexes to deliver relocation vans and lease‑navigation support, helping clients secure and move into permanent housing quickly.

permanent supportive housing

carebus check‑ins and telehealth follow‑ups connect chronically unhoused individuals with ongoing medical and behavioral‑health services at their housing sites.

supportive services

nursing, mental‑health triage, peer‑navigator check‑ins, and job‑readiness workshops happen right on our buses—no appointments, no transportation hurdles.

data & planning

through our hmis‑compatible vassist dashboard and a dedicated Steering Committee, we monitor outcomes, refine strategies, and expand capacity in real time.

our mission is to reduce the friction both
experienced and created from poverty and episodic homelessness.
