Earlier this year, Sir Keir Starmer reaffirmed his commitment to ‘tackle the root causes of homelessness’. As a nation, we can never address these root causes without efficient use of data.

An image of James Barber with his hands in his pockets, leaning against a glass window and smiling. The text next to him reads: “Whilst we embark on the next stage of our journey, selling our product and raising investment to take it to the next level, I am very grateful to have the Enterprise team still behind me, rooting and advocating for us at every opportunity, At Harker, we exist because charities deserve better, and the University of Liverpool has played a huge part in making that a reality”

I started on this journey by a friend from school whose mother worked for a homelessness charity, and they needed some IT support. I saw firsthand the frustration and wasted time the charity staff had gone through using a CRM system that was built to measure profit, not impact. After talking more to this and other charities, I realised that this was not an isolated problem and that no software exists to service the homelessness sector. As a computer scientist, I saw it as my duty and purpose to build something designed from the ground up to empower people to effectively support some of the most vulnerable in our society.
