My Realest State

Mold, rent hikes, and multiple jobs keep residents in “fight-or-flight.” When nervous systems are maxed out, meeting attendance falls, tempers flare over small agenda items, and good ideas die in the hallway. My Realest State creates a recurring, low-barrier space where cortisol levels can drop, neighbors can exhale together, and trust can be rebuilt without first having to talk about money or legal strategy.

In most buildings, grievances stay verbal—passed in elevators or text threads—until they blow up at the landlord or fizzle into resignation. By embedding a structured check-in (healing circle + pulse survey) right inside the lobby, the program turns raw frustration into logged data points and shared language, making it easier to funnel issues into actionable tasks later.

Residents facing food insecurity or transit shortages often hide it; mutual-aid chat groups stall because nobody wants to be first to post. The rapid-aid split pot normalizes requesting support: the app shows anonymous counts, votes are private, and money moves within 48 hours—so dignity is preserved and crises shrink instead of snowball.

Tenants who speak Amharic, Spanish, or ASL often skip wellness events that are English-only. My Realest State issues translation badges and pays bilingual hosts, ensuring meditation cues, recipe cards, and pulse surveys appear in residents’ first languages—raising turnout and reinforcing the building’s commitment to equity.

Traditional wellness workshops rely on self-reported happiness quotes that don’t sway grant panels. The daily 1-to-5 stress-pulse score and attendance logs feed live, de-identified dashboards inside the Teamwork App, giving partners real metrics while keeping personal details private.
