One of the struggles homeless people are facing is that they cannot find the homeless shelter closest to them, and even if they do, they might not be able to get a bed there because there are no vacant spots or because the shelter has gender, age, or other restrictions. The goal of this project is to create an app that homeless people can use (either on their own phone, if they have one, or by borrowing a friend’s) to find a shelter.
As a part of a team of 4, we worked on an Android application for CS+Social Good to help automate this process through a variety of API’s and technologies, including maps and geolocation and databases to retain persistence in the app.
