THE COMPLETE ECOSYSTEM

From QR Code to Housing

Follow the journey: One scan. One donation. One life changed.

INSPIRED BY MALCOLM GLADWELL

It's Better to Solve than Manage

In his groundbreaking essay "Million Dollar Murray", Malcolm Gladwell revealed a profound truth: it costs society more to manage chronic homelessness than to solve it.

SHELTR was built on this principle. We don't just manage the problem—we create sustainable pathways out of homelessness through technology, dignity, and purpose. Every component of our ecosystem works together to transform lives, not just track them.

THE COMPLETE JOURNEY

Follow a Donation from Scan to Shelter

Every piece of our ecosystem is designed to work together seamlessly, creating a transparent pathway from compassion to housing.

STEP 1
The Scan
Where compassion meets technology

A donor encounters a participant and scans their unique QR code. In seconds, a secure connection is established—no cash, no cards, just instant digital compassion.

  • Participant receives unique, secure QR code
  • Donor scans with any smartphone camera
  • Blockchain transaction initiated instantly
  • 100% transparent, trackable, secure

The Power of the QR Code

This isn't just a donation—it's the beginning of a journey. The QR code is the participant's digital identity, their connection to resources, and their pathway to stability.

Average scan-to-donation time: 8 seconds

Automated Intelligence

Smart contracts automatically split every donation according to our proven 80-15-5 model. No overhead, no delays—just instant, intelligent distribution.

Blockchain-verified • Immutable • Transparent
STEP 2
SmartFund™ Split
Intelligent, automated distribution

The moment a donation is received, our smart contracts execute a three-way split designed for maximum impact—immediate needs, long-term housing, and shelter support.

5%

STEP 3
Immediate Impact
Dignity through direct access

The 80% instantly loads onto the participant's virtual debit card. They can buy food, clothing, medicine—whatever they need, with dignity and autonomy.

  • Virtual Mastercard accepted everywhere
  • Real-time transaction tracking
  • AI case management monitors progress
  • Shelter coordination & support services

Building Towards Housing

While the participant uses their 80% for immediate needs, the 15% housing fund is working behind the scenes—staking, compounding, growing towards their POD deployment goal.

Housing Fund Growth

Through institutional staking (Coinbase, Lido), the 15% allocation compounds at ~4-6% APY, accelerating the path to permanent housing.

Flat-Pack Housing Solution

When the housing fund reaches the threshold, a Model A POD is deployed. These aren't just shelters—they're dignified, secure, climate-controlled micro-homes with EcoFlow power, connectivity, and privacy. Ships flat, assembles in 2-4 hours.

Basecamp is a larger POD facility staffed by community volunteers 7 days a week. It serves as the central hub for growing POD communities, providing essential services and coordination.

  • 24/7 staffed community support
  • Case management & resource coordination
  • Meal services & emergency supplies
  • Community gathering & support space
