Hold refers to the period of time when a student is waiting to be matched
with a host family.
- You have three groups: students, coordinators, and host families.
- Coordinators match students with host families.
- Students go through different stages of processing.
The goals are to:
- provide each host family with a student
- keep each coordinator busy with three students
- make sure each student has a coordinator
- make sure students don't get stuck indefinitely in any particular stage
Basically, this can end up being a fairly involved project...
