'''The Portland Ideation Summit: Housing for All '''
The event was organized by Brad Smith (WebVisions) and Sue Gemmell. Forty people attended, who had a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, including students, activists, houseless people, mental health experts, social services professionals, programmers, and people who were just interested.
After hearing six perspectives on homelessness, Sue presented a system diagram that illustrated the cycle from housed, to unhoused, and back to housed. Participants were asked to think about what could prevent people from becoming unhoused, and what could help peple get housing. Also what are the misfortunes that cuase homelessness, and the barriers that keep people on the streets. Participants wrote their ideas on post-its and place dthem on large copies of the cycle diagram.
The next step was ideation - to think of a product or service that doesn't exist but would address some part of the cycle and prevent homelessness. Each group came up with an idea and presented it, very briefly. Then we had a pizza lunch, people could keep chatting and change groups if they wanted to.
After lunch, groups got to work drawing or writing up about their ideas, and in some instances building (the outreach tracker). At 4 pm the event culminated in final presentations, described below. All ideas were applauded.
Next steps will be to organize events to continue developing the projects, and seeking our resources to ensure they happen.
