"Behind every door unlocked is a team and community that refuses to accept that homelessness is inevitable, Shkelqim Kelmendi, founder and CEO of Housing Connector, said in a statement. This milestone proves that we can re-imagine housing access in America. By transforming how the private market engages with public need, we've shown that solving homelessness requires innovation, accountability, and courage to do things differently. We're not just building a platform, we're building a movement where housing is treated as infrastructure, not crisis response."
"Housing Connector's proprietary marketplace, integrated with Zillow's rental technology, simplifies what was once an overwhelming process for case managers and families in crisis. The partnership leverages real-time housing data and technology to connect property owners and service providers. At an average annual cost of $1,000 per household compared with $40,000 annually for public systems to support an unhoused neighbor the partnership off"
Housing Connector uses Zillow-powered technology to enable community-based organizations to quickly match people in need with vacant units and adjusted screening criteria. The platform integrates a proprietary marketplace with Zillow rental data to simplify placement workflows for case managers and families in crisis and to connect property owners with service providers. The effort has expanded from a single-city effort to operations in eight markets across seven states, with plans to reach 15 markets and 30,000 people in three years. The partnership frames housing as infrastructure, centers public-private collaboration, and dramatically lowers annual support costs per household.
