How KindLocator verifies listings

We review named sources, compare information with AI assistance, and use human review for proposed corrections. Provider input, when available, helps us clarify details. Our goal is useful, traceable information, not a guarantee of service.

  1. 1

    We review named sources

    We start with government, city and county resources, official provider websites, and other identified public directories. We review service details and record the source and check date so the information can be traced.

  2. 2

    We compare information with AI assistance

    AI helps us compare sources and flag missing or conflicting details for review. Automated checks also look for required information and review dates. Neither AI nor these checks can confirm that a phone is answered, an office is open, or a service has space.

  3. 3

    We review proposed corrections

    People review proposed changes before they are published. Reports from visitors and information from providers, when available, help us identify corrections. Reviewing a source is not the same as direct confirmation from a provider, and some details still need further review.

What “last checked” means

This is the source-check date recorded for the listing, not a live update or proof of a call to the provider.

What the labels mean

Official source
Information is attributed to a government or other official source. This label is not an endorsement or a promise of service.
Community provider
Information is attributed to a community organization or provider. This does not mean the provider has confirmed every detail directly.
Confirm before visiting
The listing needs extra caution about details such as location, hours, or intake. Confirm these with the provider first.

Before visiting or applying, confirm current hours, eligibility and availability with the provider.

A report does not change the listing automatically; we review it before publishing an update.
