When you encounter someone experiencing homelessness in our community, you can help us map where help is needed by sharing a photo. It takes just seconds:

1. Take a photo with your phone's camera (location services must be enabled)
2. Tap "Share a Photo" and select the photo you just took
3. Optionally add details about the location
4. Submit — your photo will be reviewed before being added to our map

By tracking locations rather than individuals, we respect privacy while building actionable data that shows the City where services are needed most. Every photo helps us demonstrate the scale of this crisis and advocate for real solutions.

We currently serve the Westside Neighborhood Council area. If we are successful, we would like to expand to adjacent neighborhood councils.

Step #1: LOCATE — We are currently building a real-time map of every location where people are experiencing homelessness in our community — encampments, single tents, and places where individuals are sleeping. Through community-submitted photos, we track the geographic distribution of unsheltered homelessness as it changes day by day.

Step #2: OUTREACH — We advocate for the City and service providers to connect with people at identified locations to offer assistance, resources, and pathways to shelter. Proper outreach requires trained teams working with service providers to ensure every site receives appropriate support and access to services.

Step #3: FOLLOW UP — We are raising awareness by documenting the state of homelessness in our community. While we support the City and service providers, we are also providing accountablity to ensure we are all doing our best for our unhoused neighbors.

ACTION -- Every person sleeping unsheltered is at great risk, experiencing deteriorating mental and physical health. This crisis is happening now and demands immediate action.

ACCOUNTABILITY -- Our purpose is to help people get off the street and into shelter. We hold ourselves accountable through transparency and measurable results.

ADVOCACY -- A systemic failure of governance and policy has created this crisis. We advocate for practical changes that directly help people in our community move from street to shelter.

AWARENESS -- Homelessness is not a mystery. It's an observable, quantifiable problem with known solutions. By expanding understanding, we can align priorities to solve it.
