Your thread title claims that blockchain helps to end homelessness, but in reality it only helps to protect the identity of homeless people? Please explain how blockchain helps to end homelessness? How will the blockchain technology bring homes for people who have none? Soon people will claim that blockchain technology makes it possible for humans to fly.
To be fair with the OP, the writer of the article posted the same question at the end. But I agree that its quite misleading as we all know that Blockchain will not aid in any form to end homelessness or even poverty. Every organizations can share their data quickly and every one is accounted for. The projects seeks to used Blockchain to store the pertinent information of homeless people in Austin so its easy to track everything including their medical records so that proper care can be given to them.
