currrent was a group project that was created as a part of a community equity assignment. For this project, we were asked to recognize a problem within Milwaukee and work with co-creators to solve it. Throughout the project, we reached out to various different people in the community from renters, to landlords, and those who were displaced due to gentrification. This was important in coming to our solution, as well as user testing our idea.
current is a Milwaukee-based organization that is dedicated to helping create a ‘toolkit’ of resources for aiding low-income renters through the renting process. Our extension helps those by recognizing listings that meet the needs of each individual renter while providing resources like: how to communicate with a landlord, what to look for in a property, or what to do if you need to relocate.
Our toolkit acts as a web browser extension that is integrated to be part of the renting process. Partnering with existing rental sites, our extension will aid users throughout the renting process. The extension will crowdsource information on landlords and properties, as well as provide renters with information and prompt them with questions they should ask based on the listing.
