Assisted Moving & Decluttering Service for Disabled Individuals

Product/Service Opportunity: Specialized Moving Assistance Service

User Need: The user is really struggling with the idea of moving due to a disability, lack of support, and feeling overwhelmed by the thought of decluttering ("I don't know what to pack, what to get rid of") and the logistics of packing ("How many of these moving bags should I order?"). They also have a history of being in an abusive environment and previously relied on in-home healthcare for similar tasks.

Proposed Product/Service: A "Supported Relocation Service" tailored for individuals with disabilities, those going through overwhelming life transitions, or those needing to leave difficult or abusive situations.

Key Features:

1. Personalized Move Planning & Consultation: An initial assessment to understand the individual's specific needs, limitations, desired outcomes, and sensitivities.
2. Hands-on Decluttering & Decision Support: Empathetic and practical help in sorting belongings, making decisions about what to keep, discard, donate, or sell.
3. Professional Packing & Organization: Physical packing of items using appropriate materials (e.g., advising against using inappropriate bags for most items, suggesting box types), and clear labeling, with a focus on essential items for immediate post-move access.
4. Logistics Coordination: Assistance with sourcing appropriate moving supplies, and optionally, coordinating with or providing vetted moving companies or transport solutions suitable for the scale of the move.
5. Trauma-Informed & Disability-Aware Staff: Team members trained to work with individuals who may have experienced trauma and are knowledgeable about accommodating various physical and cognitive disabilities.
6. Post-Move Support (Optional): Basic unpacking and setup assistance in the new home to ensure immediate functionality and comfort.
