| about |
Samaritan seeks a team member to join us in helping people on the street access the resources needed to find a home.

If that sounds like you, and you've got a gift for design and visual communication, we'd love for you to consider sharing your gifts with the people we serve.

Outreach teams and case managers use our smart wallets—called beacons—as a resource for people experiencing homelessness. Individuals set their own housing and health goals and then can access the financial and social capital needed to meet those goals.

The Samaritan app enables providers to issue beacons, update goals & needs, and help beacon holders spend money. It also enables everyday individuals and organizations learn the stories of individuals and join their team of supporters to help them meet set goals. Over 10,000 "samaritans" invested more than $100K and 1,000 letters of encouragement into a pilot cohort of 500 beacon holders, enabling dozens to reach life-changing outcomes. This is just the start, with additional pilots in LA, OKC, and NYC coming online soon.
