Homelessness, poverty, climate change - these are BIG problems that don't have a technical solution. They might not even have human solutions due to massive coordination problems and competing principles (freedom/liberty/equity). Solving technical problems (getting to space cheaply, making humankind multi-planetary) are HUGE problems, but you can chip away at them with time and money.

Homelessness vs houselessness, the neurodivergence percentage within homeless communities, 42% of youth homelessness are LGBTQ.

.

Solution is not related to supply side. It's a function of customer overwhelm. Ie: when a customer is faced with too many choices they fail to act. When an individual is faced with too many options they fail to chose those which produce their aligned social groups, their aligned professional communities, and the aligned housing strategy.

.

The result is people positioning themselves as victims of systemic bias vs owning the results of poor social fit (increasing primary cause for houselessness, unemployment, and neurodivergence) and failed decision making. Also noteworthy, data paradigms within both public and private systems often do not accommodate the transitional identity experiences of individuals experiencing life events. This is a compounding force.

Therefore I believe solution is building better tool for social services deployment that integrate with corporate rental agencies, talent acquisition, and consumer wellness brands. This would do two things:

1. Increase social worker case load capacity.

2. Reduce bureaucracy through disaggregating service delivery providers across marketplace

How: generate markets for suppliers and purchasers. Social service agencies pay fee to connect with service provider market.

Service providers pay fee to access market demand.

.

Incentivize major players to move their business on platform.

.

Shift the way we help one another.

Social workers can see abundance of options to help clients. Simply allocating currency (fiat or municipal token)

Clients can self navigate market of standardized supply.

Social worker their as "customer success role" no longer surrogate shopper.

.

Intangible outcome =

-customer agency which leads to life agency

-friction reduction in social reorganization (another piece about catalyst of digital social networks)

-more resilient individuals, communities, civilization, planet
