WanderAway

DV survivor housing navigation — safe exit planning, emergency shelter, digital safety.

Safety & Privacy
ReplacesDV hotline directories (static, not real-time) / general shelter finders (not DV-specific)

About

WanderAway is built for domestic violence survivors navigating housing. It addresses the documented gap: most DV survivors don't leave because they have nowhere to go that's safe. WanderAway maps emergency shelter availability in real time, plans safe exit routes (including tech safety — shared accounts, location tracking, device monitoring), and navigates the maze of DV-specific housing programs. It integrates with WanderSafeMesh's mesh network so a survivor can communicate safely without using a monitored phone. Designed with and for survivors — the National Network to End Domestic Violence's research on technology-facilitated abuse shapes every feature.

Hand-assembled

Built by supported employment workers — people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities — through WWP's fulfillment program. Every product ships with a Built By card. Competitive wage, never 14(c) subminimum.

Repair & refurb

Send it back. Prepaid label. Component-level repair, module upgrades, firmware updates. 7-year spare parts guarantee. Donate on return — refurbished hardware goes to shelter and community partners. GPL firmware: the device works even if WanderVerse shuts down.

No hardware subscription — ever

BMW charged $18/mo for heated seats already in your car. GM locked remote start. Eero charges for VPN on hardware that could run it free. We don't do that. You bought it, you own it — every feature works forever, no subscription required. WanderAssist ($9/mo optional) is a convenience layer, never a gate. Safety features are never paywalled.

Pro & Lux tiers — coming

Every WanderVerse hardware product will offer Pro and Lux finish tiers — premium materials and handcrafted finishes by WanderVerse Artisans: supported employment workers with artistic skills. Each Lux unit ships with a Finished By card. Lux revenue cross-subsidizes nonprofit pricing.
