Project poster

PATHS is an Android application that explores and tackles misconceptions and common stereotypes about homelessness in Seattle. This project builds empathy with the homeless community using visual, interactive stories based on real events and issues that have been anonymized. By offering different perspectives in the lives and struggles of a homeless individual or someone who works closely with the homeless, PATHS guides users into other people’s shoes. With empathy, users will be better equipped to advocate, donate and engage with this systematic issue.
