Home Unite Us project

Welcome to Hack for LA's host homes project! Hack for LA is a brigade of Code for America, and we're working with our partners at Safe Place for Youth (SPY) to enhance their host homes program. Together, we're developing a workflow management tool, digitizing key moments within SPY’s host homes initiative to make the process scaleable, reduce institutional bias, and effectively capture data.

We're working with community non-profits who have a Host Home initiative to develop a workflow management tool to make the process scaleable (across all providers), reduce institutional bias, and effectively capture data.

Host Home programs are centered around housing young people, 18 - 25 years old. Their approach focuses on low-cost, community-driven intervention by matching a willing host with a guest or group of guests, providing a stable housing environment for youths who are experiencing homelessness and seeking stable housing.
