Nationwide assistance directory

Find shelters, food, healthcare, benefits, crisis help, and essential services with fewer dead ends.

HomelessHelper combines a mobile-first public directory with filters, optional location, provider claims, moderated corrections, and a growing nationwide data pipeline.

The problem this solves

Replace fragmented work with one understandable path.

A directory is only useful when people can filter quickly, understand eligibility and hours, and report bad information. HomelessHelper combines broad public data with a moderated local correction path instead of letting unreviewed edits publish directly.

Nationwide public data

Combine reviewed public datasets while preserving source provenance and refresh needs.

04

Provider claims

Let a provider submit corrections or claim a listing through a protected review workflow.

05

Community submissions

Accept individual and bulk suggestions into the same moderated queue.

06

Read-before-decision moderation

Require an administrator to open the evidence before approving or rejecting a change.

How a pilot works

Start small. Verify the workflow. Expand with evidence.

Search by need and place

Choose service categories, location context, and relevant population needs.

Check the listing details

Review hours, contact, eligibility, source, and directions before traveling.

Improve the directory

Submit a correction or new resource; an administrator reviews it before publication.

Trust is part of the product

Honest boundaries build better software.

HomelessHelper is a directory, not a guarantee of bed availability, safety, eligibility, or emergency response. Location is optional. Provider and community changes enter a moderated queue, and administrators must read the underlying evidence before deciding.
