Homeless Renting Platforms

'Lease Up' Helps Landlords Easily Rent Places to Homeless People

— December 17, 2018 — Art & Design
While there are plenty of home-finding apps, Lease Up is a new website and app that focuses its efforts on helping homeless people find homes. Working with both landlords and caseworkers, Lease Up helps streamline the renting process for homeless people and ensures landlords are renting their places for a good cause.

For landlords, the platform gives a single point of contact instead of having to keep in touch with multiple homeless organizations. All the units listed on the platform are inspected by nonprofit staff, who also facilitate the holding fee of $1,100 so the unit can stay vacant until a homeless client can complete the paperwork.

Lease Up hopes that its platform will help simplify the process for both renters and landlords, and will hopefully entice more landlords to participate and list more units.
Trend Themes
1. Homeless Renting Platforms - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms that connect homeless individuals with landlords, streamlining the rental process and ensuring socially conscious renting.
2. Streamlined Home-finding Apps - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create user-friendly home-finding apps that cater specifically to the needs of homeless individuals, offering a simplified and efficient way to find housing.
3. Socially Responsible Landlord Engagement - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encourage more landlords to participate in initiatives like Lease Up, promoting socially responsible renting and providing more housing options for homeless individuals.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and social impact initiatives into the real estate industry, transforming the way housing is found and rented.
2. Social Services - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with technology platforms to enhance the impact and efficiency of social services that support homeless populations.
3. Nonprofit Organizations - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative partnerships and platforms that enable nonprofit organizations to play a crucial role in connecting homeless individuals with housing opportunities.
