YourPeer Accessibility Build & Launch

This campaign will unlock meaningful access to Streetlives’ YourPeer platform for people with disabilities by funding a focused build-and-launch of core accessibility improvements.

Streetlives is raising $50,000 now because this work requires dedicated development, testing, training, and outreach—and delaying it keeps barriers in place for users who rely on assistive technologies.

The campaign will deliver implemented features including screen reader compatibility, text-to-speech options, and simplified navigation, informed by collaboration with accessibility experts and users with disabilities. Progress will be tracked through development milestones, user feedback gathered during testing, and implementation updates shared throughout the campaign.

Major-donor support will underwrite a clear plan with funds allocated across development (40%), user testing (30%), staff training (20%), and outreach (10%). Donors will be kept close to the work through regular progress updates and, as available, testimonials from users describing how the enhancements improved their ability to find and access services.

Streetlives is raising $50,000 now to enhance accessibility on the YourPeer platform so people with disabilities can effectively use it to find and access vital services. This campaign matters in this moment because accessibility improvements require dedicated development, testing, training, and outreach—work that cannot be deferred without leaving barriers in place for users who rely on assistive technologies.

Waiting delays the implementation of core features like screen reader compatibility, text-to-speech options, and simplified navigation, prolonging unequal access to the platform’s service connections for people with disabilities.

If this campaign succeeds, YourPeer will become meaningfully more usable for people with disabilities through new accessibility features, including screen reader compatibility, text-to-speech options, and simplified navigation. The result is a platform where users with disabilities can more effectively navigate and access vital services.

The campaign also unlocks a stronger, more inclusive product-development approach by building these features in collaboration with accessibility experts and users with disabilities, ensuring improvements are grounded in real user needs.
