Impact of Binti on Foster Family Licensing Process

This case study examines the implementation of Binti's software at DePelchin Children’s Center, focusing on its impact on the foster family licensing process. The Interim Regional Director, Arnold Lee Valdez, discusses the challenges faced prior to using Binti, including delays in assessing family suitability, difficulties in tracking applicants, and inefficiencies in the recruitment process. The introduction of Binti has streamlined these operations, allowing for quicker assessments and better tracking of applicants. The software provides an organized dashboard that highlights areas needing attention and helps identify potential candidates early in the process. Additionally, Binti has improved the experience for family applicants, reducing the need for follow-up calls and increasing the number of referrals from satisfied applicants. The licensing time has significantly decreased from a year to approximately 80 days, demonstrating the effectiveness of Binti in enhancing the agency's recruitment and licensing efforts.
