Real-time community signals for understanding street homelessness in Philadelphia
StreetSignal transforms community observations into structured, privacy-conscious data. It helps cities, outreach teams, and research partners see patterns in unsheltered homelessness across the city in near real time.
Built as a pilot civic intelligence platform. StreetSignal collects signals, not identities, and is not an emergency response system.
How StreetSignal works
Residents and partners submit structured observations about visible need. Signals are mapped, lightly anonymized, and made available in aggregate to support planning, outreach coordination, and research.
Map community-reported signals
Capture structured observations and see them on a live, privacy-aware map.
Turn observations into civic data
Admin users can filter signals, explore trends, identify hotspots, and export data.
Privacy-first by design
No names, no photos, no identifiers. Public maps show approximate locations only.
