SAFE NIGHTUsing mobile to help domestic violence organizations meet emergency needs
I have an agenda.
I want you to believe we can use mobile phones to build virtual shelters.
First, some numbers.
All from a single day:
September 15, 2011.
5,363Individuals received
services from domestic violence agencies in
California.
2,822People found emergency
shelter or transitional housing.
924Requests went unmet.
612Of those unmet requests
were for emergency shelter or transitional housing.
We believe we can help.
Safe Night will meet emergency needs by
crowdsourcing funding for temporary emergency shelter.
Assisted by technology, community can bridge emergency need and
stable funded services.
We are focused on a single problem within the
larger issue.
612Unmet requests were for
emergency shelter or transitional housing.
But we have other, behind the scenes, goals.
Community Engagement!
Systems integration!
Data!
This a partnership.
We have support.
But we still need more help.
