ShelterWeb

Inspiration

We saw the growing homeless problem in LA, and decided to try and solve it. After some research, we found out that a major part of the problem was lack of homeless shelters to house people.

What it does

Our service allows homeless shelters and similar organizations to easily expand. Through our website, they can find abandoned buildings to transform.

How we built it

The base of our website is Google Sites, where our team collaborated and created ShelterWeb. Each team member incorporated their own styles and methods to make the website the best version of itself.

Challenges we ran into

Our main roadblock was at the beginning of the project, where we had a difficult time deciding on an idea to build.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Making a functional and aesthetically pleasing website finishing the project knowing everyone put their best effort intricate details in each example of the website

What we learned

homelessness was actually much more of a colossal task to tackle, contrary to what some of us believed. We also learned that lack of shelters played an important role in this, and it was a commonly overlooked problem.
