Our
Mission
At MyHouseKey, we bridge the gap between people and immediate local support. We provide unhoused individuals with all-in-one guides for finding resources and a real-time shelter map, while using our active blog to spread awareness about homelessness and engage all in community action.
The Reality of Homelessness
Homelessness is not a choice. It is often the result of a sudden crisis — a lost job, a medical bill, a rent hike, or a family breakdown — compounded by a shortage of affordable housing and support systems that are hard to navigate.
3.7 million
people in the U.S. are estimated to be unhoused.
80%
unhoused families are headed by single mothers.
To visualize the scale of the U.S. unhoused population, 3.7 million people would completely fill 173 football fields.
Behind every statistic is a person with a name, a family, a story, and the same basic need we all share: a safe place to sleep, enough to eat, and the dignity of being treated like a human being.
