HelpMeToday — Example
Sample conversationI just lost my housing in Baltimore and I don't know where to go tonight.
I'm really sorry. There are 3 shelters within 2 miles of downtown Baltimore. Closest is Helping Up Mission (1029 E Baltimore St) — walk-ins accepted until 9 PM.
Want me to text you walking directions, or look up free meals nearby first?
Accuracy is the whole point
The hardest part is keeping Baltimore City resource info current and correct. That's exactly what we're building — verification, not guesses.
Built with people, not just for them
We work with a formerly homeless advisor — lived experience shapes what we build, not just who it's for.
Our mission
Lack of information shouldn't be the reason someone sleeps outside tonight.
Baltimore doesn't lack services — it lacks a way to find them when it matters. Shelters, food, healthcare, jobs, and legal aid already exist, but the directories that list them go stale, helplines close at night, and a person in crisis often can't reach the right door in time. HelpMeToday isn't another service competing for the same dollars — it's a free, AI-powered front door that makes the resources Baltimore already funds findable and accurate, 24/7, in plain language. We don't replace 211, findhelp, or Health Care for the Homeless — we make sure the people who need them actually reach them.
