Surging unemployment in the UK, induced by Covid-19 containment measures, has caused 500,000 people to be in rent arrears and 45,000 households at a serious risk of homelessness (Big Issue, July 1, 2020).The cost to the UK government, of a person sleeping rough for a year, is £20,128 while the cost of a successful intervention by service providers is £1,426 (At What Cost, 2015).In order to capture and cater to vulnerable populations, amidst the Covid-19 crisis, we need a radical and urgent improvement on the current status-quo of beneficiary data aggregation and impact verification of social services, to accurately mitigate the widening socio-economic disparities at hand.Alice SI Ltd (Alice) is an award-winning decentralised impact finance and measurement infrastructure, built on blockchain technology, that automates data management and analytics for nonprofits, impact investors, and governments.Alice's collaborator for the SAVE project is Resonance, which runs the UK's biggest Homelessness Property Funds, with £220 million of assets under management, and houses 1,600 people in 559 properties across the UK.Alice will collaborate with Resonance to reduce Covid-19 induced homelessness, through big data analytics of social services delivered to vulnerably housed people, to enable their long-term socio-economic revival.The SAVE prototype will springboard big data-based impact monitoring and evaluation across the social services sector, and drive, as a result, admin cost reduction by 50% and more effective funds allocation.Innovative modules and features of the SAVE platform are:**a) Automation of data aggregation**, with data originating initially from Resonance and its broad network of social and housing services organisations,**b) Beneficiaries' Self-Sovereign ID** to generate beneficiary-led data on the distribution and effectiveness of support services, empowering the beneficiaries to be the sole owner and manager of their data and, ensuring their privacy and dignified treatment,**c) Decentralised governance**, based on a Proof-of-Stake mechanism, which will involve challenging R&D, yet will ensure environmental sustainability,**d) Private micropayments in a circular economy**, which will incentivise expenditure of funds allocated to beneficiaries in their neighborhoods' local shops, contributing to most needed wider economic growth and containing a potential further Covid-19 outbreak in isolated regions.In a social arena, where government agencies and nonprofits rely on incomplete, siloed, and unstructured data, the SAVE project will positively disrupt impact measurement practices and introduce a technical shift in underlying digital infrastructures, with its decentralised and transparent data governance. The SAVE project aims to alleviate Covid-19's financial impact, creating a sustainable and responsible data economy that delivers social value, giving the UK a market-lead that will spearhead Alice's global expansion.

新冠肺炎疫情防控措施导致英国失业率飙升，已导致50万人拖欠房租，4.5万户家庭面临无家可归的严重风险（大问题，2020年7月1日）。英国政府的成本，一个人睡一年，是20,128英镑，而服务提供商成功干预的成本是1英镑，426（At What Cost，2015）.为了捕捉和满足弱势群体的需求，在新冠肺炎危机中，我们需要从根本上紧急改善当前受益人数据汇总和社会服务影响力验证的现状，以准确缓解当前日益扩大的社会经济差距。Alice SI Ltd（Alice）是一家屡获殊荣的分散影响力融资和测量基础设施，基于区块链技术，为非营利组织、影响力投资者和政府自动化数据管理和分析。Alice的SAVE项目合作者是Resonance，该公司运营着英国最大的无家可归者财产基金，管理着2.2亿英镑的资产，在英国各地的559处房产中为1，600人提供住房。Alice将与Resonance合作，以减少新冠肺炎导致的无家可归者，通过大数据分析为住房困难人群提供的社会服务，帮助他们实现长期的社会经济复兴。SAVE原型将推动基于大数据的社会服务部门的影响监测和评估，从而推动管理成本降低50%，并更有效地分配资金。SAVE平台的创新模块和功能包括：**a）数据汇总自动化 **，数据最初来自Resonance及其广泛的社会和住房服务组织网络，**B）受益人的自主身份证 **，以生成由受益人主导的关于支持服务的分布和有效性的数据，**c）基于权益证明机制的分散治理 **，这将涉及挑战性的研发，但将确保环境的可持续性，**d）循环经济中的私人小额支付 **，这将激励分配给受益人的资金在他们社区的当地商店中支出，为最需要的更广泛的经济增长做出贡献，并遏制孤立地区进一步爆发新冠肺炎疫情的可能性。在社会竞技场中，在政府机构和非营利组织依赖不完整、孤立和非结构化数据的情况下，SAVE项目将积极颠覆影响力测量实践，并通过其分散和透明的数据治理，在底层数字基础设施中引入技术转变。SAVE项目旨在减轻COVID-19的财务影响，创造一个可持续和负责任的数据经济，提供社会价值，使英国成为市场领导者，引领Alice的全球扩张。
