Our project aims to connect the user with government programs and local organizations who can assist them. We plan to assist the user in 3 folds: Connecting the user with government programs, Assisting them in finding a job, and connecting them with community resources.
Based on the information provided by the user, the application will recommend government aid programs the user may qualify for. The application will automatically filter through the details of each program and its requirement to determine which of the programs will assist the user the most.
To help the user get restarted in life, the application will liaise with local businesses to assist the user in finding a job that is suitable to them. Local businesses will be able to sign up and put up requests for jobs which the application will automatically display to users who meet the requirements.
Statistically many homeless and unfortunate individuals suffer from chronic mental illness or disease, so our application can also connect the user to community resources at their discretion. These community resources(if available) could range from food banks and shelters to psychiatrists or doctors. These resources will ensure that the user will feel that they are not alone and set them on the right path back to society.
Finally our project will lower the stress currently put on social security by providing a centralized system in which the homeless can take over some of the responsibility and control over their path back to society.
