Saving and sharing resources
Keep the listings you need: favorites, share links, printing, and ready-made handouts.
What this does
Every listing can be saved, shared as a link, or printed. LaneHelp also has pre-built printable handouts for common needs.
When to use it
Use these when you want to come back to a listing later, send it to someone, or hand a paper copy to a person without a phone.
What you need
Sharing and printing need nothing. Favorites that follow you across devices need an account — see Accounts.
Saving favorites
Tap the save button on any listing. Signed in, your favorites appear under your account on every device. You can also save housing searches so new matching leads surface — see Housing tools.
Sharing
- Every listing’s Share button copies a public link (or opens your phone’s share sheet). The link opens the same listing for anyone — no account needed on their end.
- Map views can be shared too: the link keeps the layers and place you were looking at. See Using the map.
- Texting LaneHelp sends short links to the same listings — useful when the other person only has SMS. See Using LaneHelp by text.
Printing
- Every listing and the shelter page have print-friendly views.
- Handouts are ready-made printable sheets — meal sites, pantries, hygiene, restroom access, clothing — kept current so you can print a stack.
- Quick Sheet builds a custom one-page list from listings you pick. See Quick Sheet handoffs.
Common questions
Do shared links expire?
Listing links stay valid as long as the listing exists. The person opening the link always sees the current version, including any corrections since you shared it.
Can I save things without an account?
You can print or bookmark in your browser without an account. LaneHelp favorites need an account so they can follow you between devices.
