This isn’t specifically about homelessness, but it is a cool example of how educated people can use tech to help others. Kyle Wanamaker (the son of one of my former students), organized a ‘hackaton’ to develop apps, programs, and other software to solve ordinary people’s problems. One example: an app that helps poor people figure out where to vote — and overcome the hurdles that richer folk have put in their way.

I wonder what the rest of us can do to help poor people, including homeless people, take control of their own lives.
