1
Find or request your organization
Start with the organization’s real public identity — name, website, service area, and primary contact.
Organization spaces
Your organization should be able to speak for itself.
Elder Justice Fresno can give community organizations a public space in the network without taking over their identity. Claiming a space means an authorized representative can review what the public sees and keep it current.
Organization spaces are in development. You can start a conversation with EASI now; claiming, verification, and pathway readiness will open as the network is built.
How claiming works
Claiming the profile is not the same as being approved for a service pathway.
2
Verify who is claiming it
Elder Justice Fresno confirms that the person requesting control is authorized to represent the organization.
3
Review the public profile
Confirm the mission, contact information, services, languages, accessibility, hours, and how people should reach you.
4
Choose how you participate
Directory-only, network participation, a mapped service pathway, a working group, or a readiness process such as emergency placement.
5
EJF reviews and publishes
Your organization controls its public information; EJF controls network-status and safety/readiness labels.
What the organization controls
A real public home, not a frozen directory entry.
The organization should be able to keep its description, contact details, services, service area, languages, accessibility information, referral instructions, volunteer opportunities, and public resources accurate.
Listed
Basic public information is present. No claim of partnership or readiness.
Claimed
An authorized representative has taken responsibility for the organization’s public space.
Verified
The organization and claiming representative have been reviewed by EJF.
Pathway Ready
A specific service pathway has separately completed the readiness review required for that work.
Claimed does not mean endorsed.
A claimed space confirms who maintains the public information. Referral readiness, emergency-placement readiness, restorative-practice authorization, and other higher-trust roles each require their own review. Those distinctions should stay visible on the public site.
