PROGRAMS Overview

The Community Kiosk Service Platform provides 24/7, judgment‑free access to essential local resources for people navigating crisis or housing instability. Designed for individuals without phones or internet, these multilingual kiosks offer clear guidance to nearby shelter, food, health, safety, and job services making critical information easier to find during stressful moments

Smart Shelter Systems use IoT and RFID tools to make shelter environments safer, calmer, and more predictable. These systems support residents and staff through secure entry, environmental monitoring, and real‑time operational data helping shelters reduce conflict, improve safety, and create more organized, healthy spaces.

Navigation & Community Resource Tools provide clear, low‑barrier guidance to housing, health, food, crisis care, legal aid, and community resources. Designed for people experiencing stress, language barriers, or limited digital access, these tools offer simple, self‑directed pathways that reduce confusion and help individuals find the right support quickly and confidently.

Community Insight & Systems Improvement uses community‑guided evaluation to understand how people experience housing, health, crisis response, and local services. By gathering real stories, anonymous input, and cross‑agency feedback, this work identifies barriers, builds trust, and supports policy and service improvements that are more culturally aligned, fair, and responsive to community needs.

Digital Access & Inclusion supports people who lack devices, internet access, or digital literacy by providing simple, low‑barrier tools that make essential services easier to reach. Designed for individuals navigating crisis, stress, or unstable housing, these resources offer clear, culturally relevant pathways to housing, food, health, and safety empowering community members to access support independently.

Regional Pilots & Innovation helps communities test new, dignity‑centered solutions in real‑world, high‑need environments. By working with local partners to design and trial low‑risk prototypes, from kiosks to shelter upgrades and navigation tools, we generate practical learning, build trust, and support approaches that can scale across neighborhoods, counties, and future statewide models.
