Information & Permission
How your information is used
What Mira may ask for
Mira may ask about your family's living situation, basic needs, and what you are trying to find help with. This helps identify the right programs for you.
How permission works
Your information stays private. It is shared only with your permission. You control what gets shared with authorized workers or partner organizations.
How to involve a worker
You can authorize a school liaison or a community caseworker to view your needs so they can help you directly without asking you to repeat your story.
Important Information
What Mira cannot promise
Mira is a casework assistant. She does not make final decisions about who gets help, and she cannot guarantee that you will receive housing, funding, or specific services.
In an emergency
Mira is not an emergency response service. If you or your family are in immediate danger or experiencing a medical emergency, please dial 911 or contact local emergency services immediately.
