One profile.
Every benefit.
Zero paperwork.

How it works

Built like public infrastructure, not another portal.

01
Tell us about your household once
A 60-second intake: size, income, address, situation. Plus an optional document upload our parser uses to auto-fill the form.
02
CivicPass runs your profile against every program
A deterministic rules engine covers 20 real Michigan & federal programs today, and exposes a public API any city can plug into.
03
We apply on your behalf — once
Tokenized proofs submit a single application to each agency. No more re-uploading the same pay stub to five different portals.
