Inspiration

GlobalHackVI gave us four problems to tackle 1) Homeless Prevention 2) Resource Inventory and Search 3) Provider Communication and Coordination 4) High-Level Analytics

How we built it

We used Meteor, NodeJS, Boostrap.

Challenges we ran into

The data is incredibly complex, so we often found ourselves simplifying the existing data model to enable us to focus on functionality. It was hard not to get too process or data focused given and keep a focus on functionality and features.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud we were able to integrate a variety of features into our product over the course of 3 days. It was tiring!

What we learned

A lot about homelessness. From having to understand the data, and its reason for collection, you learn how large the problem is and how it will take more than a hackathon to truly make a dent in such a problem. But we believe our solution can be the start of something big to bring more technology to the incredible providers and their clients, and that makes it truly exciting.
