We are excited to announce the launch of a new app, developed by individuals with lived experience of homelessness, alongside the dedicated staff who work with them every day.
Bindl Companion is an app designed to empower and assist individuals experiencing homelessness by providing a comprehensive resource map of nearby services, resources, and opportunities. It enables users to set personal goals and track their progress, aiming to navigate homelessness more effectively. Learn more at Empowerment Command Center!
Scaling Human-Centered Empowerment
The bindl-companion app is built upon a proven human-centered approach developed through the Empowerment Command Center model. By digitally scaling this approach, this app extends personal agency and self-sufficiency strategies while preserving critical human connections and support networks.
Ongoing Community-Driven Innovation
The bindl-companion app was co-designed by community members, including users, empowerment partners, nonprofit leaders, community leaders, and public officials. Its ongoing design and development have been generously supported by the Centene Foundation, CISS Board Members Jennifer Findlay, Don Schoen, and James Wessels, and Carlos Rojas from twopoint0, whose commitment to innovation helped shape the platform.
A special thanks to the 310+ individuals and community partners from across the U.S. who helped us turn Bindl Companion into a powerful app. Check it out now on Google Play and the Apple Store!
