Hearing the Homeless

In this session, we will explore a few initiatives working to find a solution to the issue of homelessness. HTH is fighting to humanize the homeless by capturing stories and crowdfunding to meet needs. The City of ATX is using blockchain technology to protect the identities of the homeless. Penny Inc., a fintech company, delivers P2P micro donations and Alan Graham, the CEO of MLF, has built a progressive community for the homeless thrive in. Join us as we explore these 21st century solutions.
