From My Post in the Facebook group "Helpful Philadelphia"
One area where people could come together to be more helpful is in housing. Where someone lives and where our relatives and friends live is about as important as health, nutrition and safety. There are dozens, or perhaps hundreds of groups (to say nothing of the Government) where there is a focus on housing as an important issue. So, what if we propose to create a Web based tool that can facilitate collaboration among social services, government agencies, neighborhood organizations and private people who wish to help families find housing resources among private and public sources. Older people with an "empty nest" might find it helpful if a local service organization could help them find an appropriate housemate. Senior centers might be able to benefit their tenants by collaborating with colleges to place students in their facilities. A network for making "Shared Housing" a possibility could make a difference in many lives. Stan (talk) 18:45, 23 April 2017 (EDT)
