Large Cities Coordinating to End Homelessness

[mexistentialist]

About the group

All Chicago aims to prevent and end homelessness using data driven approaches with our community partners and key stakeholders. In order to reduce homelessness throughout the country, we are aiming to build a forum for large cities to share approaches, methodologies, policies, and data, so that we can build a national knowledge base on how to end homelessness through coordination of care and housing resources.

Tools

We are looking to build a website off of Django using an open-source CMS (we have explored using Mezzanine).

However, we will also consider using Rails.
