Make housing first (for the night) available to all those in need utilizing also public and private buildings

Comment

Inspiration There are a number of public and private buildings which can shelter people for the night. However, these underutilized buildings, cannot verify the people who need these facilities. Together (CoC & public/private partnerships), our solution will ensure every client in need of emergency shelter for the night can be helped.

What it does Clients in need of services will register with Service providers (CoC members) who will verify the client details and this database will be used for electronic referrals to provide emergency shelter for the night in underutilized buildings

How we built it Android, Java, Google maps, Google places, firebase

Challenges we ran into Getting google maps to filter based on the given data-set

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

What's next for Thea With proper implementation of this, we can assist clients nationwide with emergency shelter for the night. We are committed in making this go live ASAP in St. Louis first
