There are more Americans experiencing homelessness today than ever before. To help them improve their lives, Jonathan Kumar designed the Samaritan app.
On one end, users can get to know unhoused individuals through their profiles, learn about their goals, and contribute to specific needs. On the other end, a person experiencing homelessness is able to receive financial and social support on their path to achieving those goals.
Whether it’s a haircut or groceries, the Samaritan philosophy is that being able to meet each person’s unique needs helps to empower people and propel them forward. The goal is to “provide a social home” and meet people where they are. After all, people without homes are still our neighbors.
