This group is focusing on the homeless people and their own safety as they live on the streets, not the danger they may cause to others. Mr. Yifan showed us some data that says that homeless people are 4 times more likely to have things stolen from them and 10 times more likely to be killed. We learned that this shows that while people may feel uneasy around homeless people, they are the ones that are more likely to feel unsafe. That is an interesting goal to explore as I never looked at the needs of the homeless people themselves.

This issue is related to me as I come from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, two cities with a very large population of homeless people. I grew up being taught to fear the homeless. I was told that they are dangerous, use drugs and steal things. Mr. Yifan's workshop challenged that idea because now I do not know why people kept telling those things about the homeless.

I am excited to be part of this group because I think people have the wrong idea about homeless people and their lives and I want to fit in by teaching others to look at the homeless from a different perspective.

Which criteria for impact did you select?

To me, the most relevant criteria to decide impact is an ethical one: things are more impactful if they save more lives. If one solution has the potential to save one more life than an alternative, I would support that instead of the alternative.

How do the other options fare in your evaluation? What is lacking in them?

First, the Engineering group has the potential to save some lives as we saw on Mr. Triple's class an article by McGrew et.al that access to quality shelters is connected to better health and a longer life, but that connection is too far away for me, and I would not even be sure that people would use my invention. Therefore, I am not sure that many lives could be directly saved by my idea.

I could see how the Mental Health for the Homeless group could be appealing to people who have different priorities, as it helps people's wellbeing. However, I saw no evidence at Eve's class that wellbeing interventions could directly save a life, so I am not sure it fits my criteria best.

For the criteria you chose, why is your first choice the most impactful?

The most impactful problem area to me is definitely the Safety for the Homeless. We saw the policy research by Wu and Gu in Mr. Yifan's class that found that homeless people are 10 times more likely to be murdered than regular people. Ensuring their safety, even if it is really hard because it involves policy, could have a massive payoff in a place where the homeless population could hit the thousands. Engaging with this group could generate the most impact in saving lives.
