I met Adam Bard at Civic Hall in NYC the other week at my Civic Tech Mixer. He and a group of dedicated volunteers are working on a effort called Streetlives.

Below is his simple, yet very import request for information. - Steven Clift

Question from Streetlives:

Does anyone have best practices for building a website and an online community with and for homeless people, or valuable experience they could share?

We're looking for are ways to learn from mistakes, or at least to be sure we have looked far and wide for similar projects, so we don't fail through ignorance. Streetlives is in our very early stages and your input can help us learn from others and down the road
position us to share what we learn back.

Please email your replies to Adam Bard: ad...@streetlives.nyc

P.S. We met at the NYC meetup for the Open Government and Civic Technology Facebook Group. The gathering was like a mini-birds of a feather unconference session which included mini presentations on local civic tech projects. Let me know if you want to leverage our 5,000 global audience to try and organize a local meetup or better yet add this format to an upcoming local civic meeting and use this Facebook group to cross-promote.
