Designed as a web interface to be used among various members of the St. Louis Continuum of Care (CoC), specifically homeless shelters.
The primary goal is to have a central database and web application that can be used to store a shelter's availability for each night as well as information for each client who stays the night. The shelter data would then be viewable and searchable to find an appropriate shelter that has openings for a homeless person searching for a place to stay the night, especially if the current shelter is full.
The use of a central database helps promote data sharing among CoC members. The hope is to add metrics to analyse and view the collected data.
Our current website includes a log-in page, a home page that links to CoC services, and three PHP forms that relate to the three major shelter functions we are tackling. One of the forms is used for adding a new client to the system when it is their first time, another is to make a "reservation" to a shelter on a given night, the last form is to search for how many openings appropriate shelters have based on the total number of available spaces and how many reservations were made for that night.
