Streetlight Chicago
The Vision
The StreetLight Chicago project is designed to provide up-to-date information on shelters, health clinics, emergency beds, mental health services, and more. The project is geared for young adults in Chicago between the ages of 16 and 24 living with unstable housing, with the objective of helping these individual with a portable, easy-to-use set of resources. This project was co-developed by the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless and Young Invincibles, made possible with the generous support of the VNA Foundation.
The Outcome
Working closely with the Streetlight team, we built and optimized several new support features for the Streetlight Chicago website and mobile app. These enhancements focused on providing easier access to resources and allowing users without internet access to access these resources when in a safe place.
