One checked guide for each program

Program guides, application questions and eligibility checks now use the same dated sources. The Bridge Project is the first example.

Prepared for release. This change has not been deployed.

A program can have different rules and application dates in each place it serves. Front Door now keeps those details together, so its guide and eligibility check use the same rules.

• Read what to do, which documents to gather, how to apply and what happens next, with source links and the date checked.
• Check a site’s rules using shared questions. Missing answers stay clear, and a closed site does not appear as an open opportunity.
• See the Bridge Project’s sites and the application information we could check. A page or form we could not read is marked as missing; we do not guess its questions or requirements.
• Our team can use the same program record to prepare an application form and a review checklist. Organizations can also describe how they will review applications, choose recipients, pay, send notices and offer support. Those choices need review before a program runs here.

Front Door is an independent service. The Bridge Project makes its own decisions and receives applications through its own process.
