Housing Voucher Help: Resources for Homeless Relief
Housing Voucher Help is a design-sensitive website that fills the tech-literacy gap for the homeless community, empowering individuals to get the resources they need. By simplifying the housing voucher application workflow and consolidating low-income housing resources, we make applying for and using the vouchers easier. The emergency housing voucher was implemented to help homeless people afford rent, but a year after distribution, less than half of them have been awarded in Seattle. That’s why we aim to increase voucher applications so that 100% of Seattle vouchers are utilized to connect people with stable housing that could change their lives.
