Homelessness is an issue that affects millions, yet the solutions often fail to leverage technology effectively. At StreetCare (https://streetcare.us), we’re reimagining how communities can use tech to create sustainable support systems for those experiencing homelessness.
Our Tech-Driven Approach
Donation Tracking System
Transparency is key when it comes to donor trust. We’ve implemented a digital tracking system that allows donors to see exactly how their contributions are used. From funding wellness kits to organizing community meals, donors can follow the impact of every dollar.
Volunteer Management Platform
Organizing volunteers can be chaotic, especially for large-scale efforts. Using simple tools like Trello and Airtable, we’ve developed a streamlined platform for managing volunteer schedules, roles, and training resources.
Community Resource Mapping
StreetCare has partnered with developers to create an interactive map of available resources for homeless individuals, such as shelters, food banks, and medical facilities. This map is constantly updated to provide real-time information, ensuring that help is always accessible.
How Developers Can Get Involved
If you’re a developer passionate about social impact, here’s how you can contribute:
Collaborate on open-source projects: We’re always looking to improve our tools and systems.
Build resource APIs: Help us integrate local resources into our mapping tools.
Volunteer your skills: From web development to data visualization, there are countless ways to get involved.
