about reversebus®

reversebus® provides immediate, low-barrier access to free essential resources, care and stabilization for people and communities experiencing poverty, episodic homelessness, acute need or disaster-related disruption. through redesigned transit buses, freevend machines, telehealth and rapidly deployable infrastructure, we bring essential supplies, care, navigation, shelter support, hygiene services and micro-housing directly where they are needed -before, during and after a crisis.

we've decentralized essential services and mobilized them to reach people wherever they are.

this approach frees us from the burden of traditional brick and mortar approaches, reduces costs and allows us to be elastic and responsive to the specific needs of each community we serve.

our mission.

to reduce the friction caused by poverty, episodic homelessness and disaster-related disruption by bringing dignified, practical support directly to people where they are.

who we serve.

  1. the homelessness
  2. the invisible homeless

  4. and any human who just needs help!

why buses?

  1. buses can be strategically mobilized, activated and deployed anywhere there is a road
  2. cheaper operating costs than traditional facilities
  3. repurpose single-use vehicles reduces automotive waste

the problem.

  1. we have a lot less housing that is affordable to people that don’t make a lot of money
