Hearing the Homeless, founded by Kevin Price is a foundation whose objective is:
“To apply an innovative system of giving that fully maximizes resources and allows the giver to really get to know the person whose life they are changing.”
Kevin’s unique approach is to:
Share Stories
HTH creates profiles of homeless individuals and aid intervention workers and shares them with people interested in giving. This way folks that want to help get to know their homeless neighbors and aid workers individually and come to understand their specific needs.
Build Communities
HTH connect donors directly with aid intervention workers and the homeless themselves so it can deliver the resources needed for the homeless to thrive instead of just survive.
Maximize Impact
By utilizing a cashless virtual donation system paired with prepaid debit cards HTH encourages healthy purchasing decisions backed up with administrative controls to ensure 100% of HTH donations are applied to their purpose with full transparency.

“Penny’s ability allows us to distribute, track and control donations to our aid workers and homeless community members really helps us maximise the impact of each and every donation.”, says Kevin Price. “With the Penny debit card and mobile app we can track every transaction and make sure donated funds are being used for their intended purpose. I hope other charitable and community organizations will take advantage of Penny’s free service as it is just fantastic!”
“We are so pleased to be able to help Hearing the Homeless maximise their impact on the community.”, says John Battley. “Penny was founded on the idea of helping small business and community organizations get complete control of their payments, purchases and expenses and working with Kevin fulfills that purpose in such an incredible way. We look forward to supporting Hearing the Homeless in every way we can.” Donations to homeless persons can be tracked, and fully transparent to ensure funds donated are going to the purpose and cause for which they were intended.
A New Way to Help
In Austin alone there are thousands of homeless either living on the street or finding temporary shelter.
Cash donations dropped into cups are not the answer. Those types of donations are often used for unintended purposes, and are simply not enough to really help in a meaningful way.
HTH aid intervention workers can make purchases on behalf of homeless persons in the form of food, clothing, shelter or health care and have every transaction automatically tracked and additional funds made available instantly when they need them.
Penny debit cards can also be issued directly to homeless people with built in restrictions as to where they can be used and for what kinds of purchases. Trusted homeless individuals can even become aid workers themselves, making purchases on behalf other homeless people in their community and tracking every purchase so HTH givers know their donations are being used for the maximum benefit.
