A lot of the homelessness problems in Chicago are classic civic tech problems. We also came to the conclusion that housing is the most prominent issues. We want to reach out to different resources and facilities to see how well they're allocating and distributing their goods and services and if there's anything we can do from a data analytics perspective to help them out. Maybe we don't need a web app that is super trendy to 'solve' this problem. Maybe we can make the biggest impact by solving classic civic tech problems somewhere in the middle. More to be discussed tonight!
