- What is the main goal for this project?
-
We are a Montreal-based community-building & co-living platform an airbnb/match.com model for short to long term family-like homesharing where families are matched with other parents striving to build meaningful neighbourhood connections, curb isolation, tackle the housing crisis, and create possibility, with features and a culture that facilitate and deepen in-person safe connections for families, especially single parents and newcomers feeling burned out and alone, where they can give and receive trusted and reliable family-like support, fostering a real sense of belonging . . . one neighbourhood at a time.
We are a social enterprise, both online and in-person, in collaboration with D3 Innovation Hub. We wish to facilitate healthy, resilient, sustainable living between families and take the guesswork out of community building.
We presently have a pilot of 370 families in a closed Facebook group and are now ready to transition off of that platform onto our own online community and App. We will soon be launching our new branding and social media presence.

- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

We are presently coding a Beta version of our community building and co-living platform and close to completing our MVP that is ready for a soft-launch very soon. A UX/UI project could include the following tasks to achieve our project goals:
• User Research: Conducting user research to understand the needs, preferences, and behaviours of your target users. (this is optional because we have done some, but we would certainly benefit from additional research)
• Wireframing and Prototyping:
• User Interface Design
• Creating design documentation, style guides, and design specifications
• Usability Testing
• Accessibility Considerations

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:
- Our website, products and services
- Our current understanding of our website’s accessibility features
- Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
- Online meeting platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype
- UI / UX design principles
Nice to haves for students include:
- Knowledge about user research methodologies and interviews
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

We are a social enterprise, both online and on the ground, in collaboration with D3 and the Refinery. We’re creating an online p2p community marketplace for medium to long term FAMILY-LIKE community building, where parents, especially single mothers... feeling burned out and alone... can access, trusted and reliable community-help they need by either podding up together or co-live together. Our goal is to facilitate the families in the matching process (AI) with other families so they can find support and belonging, and to empower families by bringing them together and facilitate healthy, resilient, sustainable living between them.
We presently have a pilot of 300 families in a closed FB group, ready to transition onto our own platform and App. We are always looking to collaborate with passionate people who are into social impact and are mission driven. We are eager to work with those that have the sensibilities and broad skillset germane to this kind of community initiative
