Functional zero is a system condition — but it’s built one household at a time. As people move through the Framework, their stories will live here, told in their own words and shared only with their consent.
In February 2026, a winter storm left ten Durham families in hotel rooms with nowhere to go next — the county’s only family shelter was full. One month later, fifteen families had moved into homes of their own.
Each person reaches housing through a different mix of the six functions. Here’s where these stories will live.
Provider, partner, or someone who’s been housed — we’d be honored to tell it, only with full consent.
This is a design prototype — nothing is submitted. Stories are only ever published with consent.
We’ll reach out before anything is ever shared. Stories are published only with full, informed consent.
