1. Current Status & Strategic Pivot

HelpmApp is a live, production-ready Progressive Web App (PWA) at www.helpmapp.org, providing real-time data on over 3,527+ services across every region of England. The platform has successfully transitioned from regional pilots to national scale, featuring ex-FAANG grade intelligence dashboards for providers and a robust, AI-driven data remediation pipeline.

2. Problem & Validated Solution

• The Problem: London's 13,000+ rough sleepers struggle to navigate a fragmented ecosystem of 10,000+ support services. Information is opaque, leading to wasted time and missed opportunities for critical aid.
• The Solution: HelpmApp provides a single, user-friendly interface to find and access verified services. Its gamified rewards system incentivizes engagement, while the underlying data engine provides invaluable insights for providers and policymakers.
