Cosa fa The Human Utility
Founded July 2014, The Human Utility (formerly known as the Detroit Water Project) matches families needing help with utility bills to people who want to help through payments directly to utility companies. For over 40 million families in the United States, water and other essential utilities may be unaffordable. In order to afford utilities, families often forgo medication, food, and transportation. The Human Utility's platform divides a bill similar to a loan syndicate expanding the possible number of donors from around the world able to join together to ensure families never lose access to utility service. Donors are matched with a specific family or donate to a universal assistance fund. Later, we use utility data to design interventions addressing the root causes of why people need help with their utility bills with the goal of never having them lose service again.

Company
The Human Utility
Eliminate water shutoffs through crowdfunded bill payments
We built a platform that connects families at risk of water disconnection with donors who pay utility bills directly. Our system breaks bills into smaller shares so multiple people worldwide can fund a single family's utility needs. Donors can pick families or give to a general fund. We plan to use utility data to develop programs that prevent disconnections long-term.
We live in Oakland, CA, and have remote team members. After YC, the company will remain based in Oakland with remote work.
Oakland is where Tiffani is located and where we have local connections to water justice issues. Remote work fits our small team and lets us engage supporters where they live.
