BridgePoint Justice

The coordination layer for New Jersey's housing and human services — one secure system linking individuals, nonprofits, landlords, healthcare providers, and government agencies.

This repository contains a fully interactive demonstration build: a complete marketing site plus all five role-based portals, running entirely in the browser on illustrative data. It is built for pilot briefings and investor conversations, where the platform has to be walked through rather than described.

No real client data is present. Every person, organization, address, and phone number in this repository is fictional.


Running it

npm install
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:5173.

Command What it does
npm run dev Vite dev server with hot reload
npm run build Type-check and produce a production bundle in dist/
npm run preview Serve the production build locally
npm test Run the unit suite (Vitest)
npm run lint Lint with oxlint

What to show, and in what order

The demo is designed to be walked in this sequence. It takes about eight minutes.

1. The site — / The problem, the year-in-one-record narrative, and the five vantage points.

2. Conversational intake — /start Five questions in plain language. The assistant acknowledges each answer, then generates a real action plan from the resource database for whichever county is chosen. Choosing Hudson instead of Essex produces a genuinely different plan.

3. The individual portal — /app The generated plan with verified resources attached to each step. Complete a sub-step here — it matters in step 4. Also: the resource directory with county and category filters, saved resources, appointments, documents, secure messaging, and the floating BridgePoint Helper.

4. The advocate portal — /advocate Open Marcus Reyes's case file. His progress bar reflects the step just completed in the client portal — the same record, two vantage points, no duplicate entry. Then: AI case summary and next best action, referral pipeline, document review, partner directory, and caseload analytics.

5. The landlord portal — /landlord Accept a referral, watch the incentive payment move, see inspections and outstanding compliance documents in one thread.

6. Tenant success — /tenant and the government dashboard — /admin Retention through the 365-day review, then the statewide view: placements, retention, service gaps, grant compliance, and HMIS export.

Sign in at /signin — no password, pick a role. The reset control in the portal header restores the demo to its starting state at any time.


What is real, and what is simulated

Being precise about this matters more in a pilot conversation than overstating it.

Real in this build

  • The county recommendation engine ranks and filters an actual structured resource database
  • Plan generation is derived from the intake answers, not pre-written per persona
  • State is shared across portals — a client action changes what the advocate sees
  • All state is immutable and persisted to localStorage, so a demo survives a page refresh
  • Filtering, search, sorting, forms, and validation all behave as they would in production

Simulated

  • The assistant is scripted keyword routing, not a model call. It answers from a fixed set and says so when it does not know, which is deliberately how the production assistant is specified to behave — grounded in the verified database rather than generating freely.
  • No backend, no database, no authentication. Sign-in picks a persona.
  • Resource records are illustrative. The real database is maintained on a rolling 90-day verification cycle.

Architecture

src/
  data/          Domain records — resources, clients, casework, landlord, analytics, scripts
  state/         Immutable store: types, reducer, seed data, React context
  lib/           Pure logic — recommendation engine, formatters, storage wrapper
  components/
    ui/          Primitives: Button, Card, Badge, Field, Modal, Toast, Charts, DataTable
    marketing/   Site chrome and section layouts
    portal/      Shared portal shell and page header
    resources/   Resource card and row
  features/
    intake/      Conversational intake and plan generation
    assistant/   The BridgePoint Helper
  pages/         Marketing pages, sign-in, 404
  portals/       individual · advocate · landlord · tenant · government

Stack: React 19, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS v4, React Router, Lucide icons. No UI framework and no chart library — the charts are laid out with CSS so the bundle stays small and the visual language stays consistent.

State. A single useReducer store in src/state/. Every reducer branch returns a new object; nothing is mutated in place. That is what allows the individual portal and the advocate case file to read the same record without either surprising the other.

Design. Institutional dark, serif display type, brass accent. Tokens live in src/index.css under @theme — colours, type scale, and surface levels are defined once and referenced everywhere.


Tests

npm test

Covers the logic where a defect would be invisible in a demo but wrong in production: the recommendation engine and its coverage claims, the plan builder, the store reducer's immutability and idempotency, date handling across timezones, and assistant routing including the does-not-know path.

UI components are verified by walking the demo rather than by snapshot tests — appropriate for a prototype at this stage, and the first thing to change when this becomes a production build.


What comes next

The roadmap the platform is built toward, in order:

  1. Authentication and role-based access control
  2. Persistent database and a real API
  3. Referral status tracking against live partner systems
  4. Document upload with a review and audit workflow
  5. Replacing the scripted assistant with a scoped, retrieval-grounded model
  6. Consent, privacy, and audit-log controls
  7. HMIS and NJ Department of Community Affairs integration
