Only 6 out of 10 people experiencing homelessness own a
phone of their own.


Not having a phone makes it difficult for unhoused individuals to stay in contact with employers, schedule shifts, or respond to job opportunities. This lack of consistent communication limits their ability to secure stable work and improve their situation.



Problem: Not owning a mobile phone severely limits the amount of options and employment opportunities available to those experiencing homelessness.

Insight:
Public telephones offer a more reliable and accessible solution for unhoused individuals than distributing mobile phones, which are easily lost or stolen.

Strategy:
Convert rented, abandoned telephone booths into "One Stop Employment Booths".
