How Ready for Housing Works

We map publicly available data from LA County service directories and California Department of Social Services licensing records, so placement teams can see every housing resource in the county in one place. Your listing shows only public information: name, address, and licensed capacity. You can claim it to verify ownership, correct details, add photos, and control how you’re contacted. Or contact us and we’ll sort it out.

Yes. Every property is listed and visible to Placement Partners at no charge, forever. The paid Claim & Control plan ($390/mo per property) adds your direct phone line, a Verified Owner badge, and full editing control. Visibility is never behind a paywall.

Sign up as a Property Partner, open your facility’s page, and hit Claim This Property with a short note about your role. Our team cross-checks ownership records. Once approved, you activate Claim & Control and the listing transfers to your account. Photos, availability, and contact details become yours to manage.

Only approved Placement Partners (verified government agencies, nonprofits, and caseworkers), and only when the listing has Claim & Control active. Anonymous visitors never see direct contact details. They’re asked to sign in first.

We verify every Placement Partner before granting access to direct contact lines and placement tools. That’s what keeps property owners comfortable sharing their availability. Applications with government or nonprofit email domains are typically approved fastest. You can browse listings while you wait.

Directly from Property Partners with Emergency Placement enabled. They update open beds in real time, which is why Find a Bed only shows listings whose owners actively manage them, not the full imported catalog.
