On January 28 2026, Dawn Marie Daras, a behavioral data scientist formerly at Microsoft and IBM, launched a free, HIPAA‑informed digital resource‑center architecture that lets homeless and domestic‑violence shelters communicate with clients instantly. The architecture is built on Google Sites, Sheets, Forms, Apps Script, and Telegram and can be implemented within 48 hours. Implementation, customization, and ongoing support are billed as a professional service.

QUOTE
“The underlying architecture is openly available at no cost, but organizations typically need expert configuration and support to make it operational,” said Daras. “Our pilot demonstrated a 70 % drop in missed client check‑ins, confirming that a properly deployed free framework can deliver measurable impact.”

KEY FACTS
Free architecture: All core components (Google Site, Sheets, Forms, Apps Script, Telegram bot) are publicly accessible at no charge.
Paid services: Implementation, custom branding, workflow tailoring, and technical support are offered on a project‑based fee schedule.
Rapid deployment: Full implementation—including configuration and staff training—can be completed in ≤ 48 hours after a scope agreement.
HIPAA‑informed design: Data remains encrypted within Google’s environment; access is role‑based.
Real‑time alerts: Staff announcements are posted to a dedicated Telegram group within minutes via Apps Script.
Client‑facing hub: Public Google Site hosts resource libraries, downloadable app links, and non‑sensitive information.
Pilot results: 70 % reduction in missed check‑ins; 45 % increase in timely resource distribution.
