We're launching a Virtual Assistant!

A tool designed to:

✅ Help individuals find support services more quickly and easily
✅ Reduce barriers of shame or judgement when seeking help
✅ Be a gateway to help that's available 24/7

This is digital transformation for good and we’re so excited about it!

In the run up to the launch of our new Virtual Assistant (!!!) our Managing Director, Matt, speaks about why digital innovation is not only beneficial to the homelessness sector but NEEDED.

Ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn for help? Our Virtual Assistant is launching soon to help:

🤝 People in crisis who need immediate support
💡 Those who want to know what help is available
❤️ Families, friends, and frontline workers looking for guidance

Help should be easy to find.

People experiencing homelessness shouldn’t have to relive their trauma to get support.

We’re developing a digital passport to help individuals securely store & share key info, reducing repetition. Linked with our virtual assistant, it’ll make accessing services quicker, easier & trauma-informed.

Calls to scrap the concept of "intentional homelessness" and bring in unconditional positive regard.

NEW: Speaking at the Crisis Homelessness Summit, the Mayor of Greater Manchester @andyburnham.bsky.social says that of the 1.5 million homes the Labour govt has promised to build in this parliament, 500,000 should be social homes.

So far the govt has NOT committed to a specific number.

Andy Burnham quoting Aneurin Bevan from housing bill in 1949 at Crisis Homelessness Summit:

"One of the reasons why modern nations have not been able to solve their housing problems is that they have looked upon houses as commodities to be bought and sold & not as a social service 2 be provided".

AI has huge potential to help tackle homelessness, if done right. Street Support's tech is fair, inclusive, and respects people’s dignity. Tech should work for people. Focus on real-world impact, not just innovation for its own sake. Make a real difference with real solutions for real people
