Binti Increases San Francisco Foster Family Applications By 300%
Binti is repairing the connective tissue of society by ensuring that some of the most vulnerable among us -- foster children -- are placed in homes full of love and support.
Sophia Isom, Permanency Program Director at San Francisco Family & Children’s Services recently shared that their agency has seen a 300 percent increase in foster family applications, “Using Binti, we’ve been able to reach a wider community base of families seeking foster children. We were getting four to five inquiries a month, now we’re hitting over 20 a month!”

Foster care case managers also report that in using Binti’s foster family approval software, they save up to 40 percent of their time on administrative tasks – allowing them to refocus on what got them involved in family services in the first place: connecting foster kids and families.

This includes 30 of the 58 state counties in California, with Binti’s software being used to approve more than 60 percent of the foster families residing in the state.
