SharedStory is a company with a focus on educating; training and implementing “best practices “in the societal efforts to end homelessness and at risk population as we know it. All platform participants will utilize the proprietary and permission based blockchain, (www.OmegaPoint.io). Potential customers include both public and private sector entities along with NFP entities. Our software will include an assessment for individuals measuring the social determinants of health, thereby coordinating resources. The dual opt-in database allows interstate data to be available, which is currently not available.
SharedStory will facilitate the change to the new world of collaboration between system participants and by returning the dignity of the underprivileged. The immutable SharedStory blockchain will increase the transparency of all participants and increase the liquidity and resources available to the people in need. Participants will have access to “sustainable “practices that are also scalable in individual markets.
SharedStory is the idea of a single impact, a single individual whose story is a prompt for change. We can all share our stories to help each other. All it takes is one story to serve the homeless populations and fill gaps in communities to enhance the opportunities for the underserved. Join us and share your story to help others.
We are in communion with one another. We are one. My purpose is to facilitate others success in hopes of making the world more equitable and grateful to one another. Our permission based blockchains create more transparency which creates more liquidity to fund these social needs.
