Diggin’ Independence: Women working toward  self-sufficiency DESIS USA Pittsburgh Carnegie Mellon University School of Design
Context :  Women with young children are a growing population experiencing homelessness. In their effort to meet the requirements of local government funders, transitional homes can lose sight of their aim to foster the development of life skills.
Project:  By developing a local currency system within the transitional home, women work to develop life skills necessary to attain employment and maintain permanent housing, to break the cycle of homelessness.
Design role :  Through participatory design, staff and researchers collaboratively developed a money management system and the appropriate artifacts, feasible for staff to deliver consistently.
