Follow the journey: One scan. One donation. One life changed.
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.
Every piece of our ecosystem is designed to work together seamlessly, creating a transparent pathway from compassion to housing.
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.
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.
Smart contracts automatically split every donation according to our proven 80-15-5 model. No overhead, no delays—just instant, intelligent 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.
Immediate Access
Virtual debit card for essential needs
Housing Fund
Staked & compounding towards POD
Shelter Operations
Supports infrastructure & services
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.
Through institutional staking (Coinbase, Lido), the 15% allocation compounds at ~4-6% APY, accelerating the path to permanent housing.
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.

2-4 hrs
Assembly time
Our flat-pack Model A PODs provide immediate, dignified housing. Each unit ships on 2-3 pallets and assembles in hours with everything needed for safety, comfort, and stability.
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.
Basecamp transforms isolated POD living into a thriving community. With dedicated staff and coordinated services, participants have access to resources, social connection, and professional support—all within walking distance of their POD.
Basecamp services include:
When time is critical, our autonomous drone network delivers life-saving supplies directly to participants wherever they are. No roads required, no delays—just fast, reliable emergency support.
Emergency delivery capabilities:
With a stable foundation, participants work with case managers, access job training, secure employment, and transition to permanent housing—breaking the cycle for good.
This is where the ecosystem comes full circle. With stable housing, ongoing support, and coordinated services, participants rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society.
