  For a community-focused project like yours, the most effective free solution is the Open User Map plugin, which is specifically designed to allow visitors or logged-in users to add and edit location markers directly from the front end of your site. The free version allows you to place a “plus” button on the map that opens a submission form, and you can configure it so that new markers remain “pending” until you approve them, ensuring the map stays accurate and safe for your users. Another highly reliable option is WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps); while its most advanced user-editing features are in the Pro version, the free “Lite” version is incredibly robust for creating the base map and allows for extensive marker customization. Both plugins support OpenStreetMap, which is completely free to use and does not require a credit card or API key like Google Maps often does, making it the perfect choice for a non-profit initiative helping the homeless.
