<p>The new poor are a group of people composed by precarious workers,<br>
working poor, NEETs, and people left behind by the safety nets, accounting<br>
for approximately 25% of the European population. Commonfare is a new<br>
collaborative form of welfare provision based on equitable governance and<br>
grassroots democracy, entailing the involvement of diverse stakeholders to<br>
facilitate the bottom-up emergence of collective practices tackling the needs<br>
of the new poor. The paper mainly describes the concepts and building<br>
blocks of the PIE News project, a public design project which started in July<br>
2016 with the aim to foster the emergence of commonfare as an alternative<br>
model to satisfy the needs of the new poor. PIE news leverages on 3 pilots<br>
(Italy, Croatia, Netherlands) with grassroots organizations in order to create<br>
a commonfare model through the development of a Collective Awareness<br>
Platform and a Digital Currency tool. The network supporting the project is<br>
constituted by organizations that account for approximately one-hundred<br>
thousand social media contacts. These organizations include ethical<br>
banking, networks of associations, activists for basic income, and many<br>
others. Finally, the paper briefly presents some results of the project at one<br>
year from its start.</p>
