Our mission
Turn awareness into action—faster, with dignity.
Community signals connect with nearby volunteers so essentials reach unhoused neighbors when it matters—coordinated care, not surveillance.
The problem
Compassion is abundant. What's missing is a way to share need and mobilize help—right now.
People want to help
Many see a need but don't know what's required or who's already helping.
Needs are time-sensitive
Food, water, warmth—without a timely signal, the moment passes.
Effort stays fragmented
Goodwill is everywhere; coordination isn't. Duplicate help or none at all.
The solution
Street Signal connects volunteers with people who may need support—when timing matters.
Signal a need
Anyone can flag that support may be useful nearby—focused on the need, not on labeling people.
Volunteers nearby
Alerts reach people who opted in. They choose when and how to respond.
Essentials, faster
Food, water, clothing, hygiene—whatever the situation calls for—gets there while it still helps.
How it works
Simple flow. Human intent.
A clear path from “something’s needed” to “someone helped.”
Signal a need
Someone shares that support may be useful in an area—what’s needed and how urgent.
Alert nearby volunteers
People who signed up get notified. We prioritize by urgency and proximity.
Volunteers respond
Volunteers self-select and bring food, water, clothes—whatever fits the signal.
Mark resolved
When help has landed, the signal closes—keeping the map useful for everyone.
Be part of the signal.
Help support reach people faster—on your terms, with dignity at the center.
