You basically have the idea:

-Students are matched to Host Families (We have Students, but we do not
have Host Families)
-It does not matter how many holds a Coordinator has. They can have
zero. It is to there discretion.
-Coordinators pick students to place.

It is fairly involved. But I have the rest worked out. I just don't
feel right about this hold table.

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...
