Every year, I witness a wave of 20,000 new faces pouring into Northeastern's diverse programs, only to see half depart again upon graduation. This constant influx creates a unique challenge: students seeking off-campus housing often find themselves needing furniture, but only for a temporary period.
That's where Husky Homes comes in. I envisioned an app that fosters a community exclusive to Northeastern Huskies, connecting students who need furniture with those looking to declutter. Because it's a closed environment, you can rest assured that the borrowing and lending process is safe and secure. Husky Homes empowers students to share pictures and details of their furniture, allowing peers to maximize the use of available space. Ultimately, this not only saves students money on furnishing their apartments, but also promotes a sustainable environment by giving furniture a second life.
