For providers
Make it easier for people to reach the help you already provide.
Purpose Link does not replace your intake process. It points the right people at it, with the right expectations, using the method you prefer.
What participating gives you
- Make your services easier to discover for the people who need them.
- Publish the referral method you actually prefer — not the one people guess.
- Correct outdated information without waiting for someone to notice.
- Show current requirements, so people arrive with the right documents.
- Provide an alternate route when your program is full or closed.
- Give community navigators clearer information to work from.
- Maintain a designated contact so questions reach the right person.
