Homeless Shelter App

* Homeless shelter

* A database app for the homeless shelter: The App could have a list of all the people in the shelter and it could ease the entrance for the shelter by having the option to look for the last name and apt#.

-A possible problem could be that everyone can see where a person is located, still, on the physical list, the names, rooms, etc, is written there.

* Emergency app

* A Emergency App for common emergencies and what to do and who to call: it could be a dictionary kind of program with a list of guides that could ease and guide anyone about the emergency.

-for example; someone is having a seizure; in the app someone types 'seizure' and the program gives you different examples, then one clicks on that example and the program gives you the information needed to help. example, call 911, look at the persons state and all that, similar to the same 911 program.

* A Homeless shelter guide and some advises.

-The guide is something needed. In a shelter, some people have to be divided and have to sleep in a different building, because to have a ex-sex offender in a building where kids are is a no-no for me, at least, and they(those ex-cons, sick people) need to be a part from those who have not done anything wrong but just have a difficult economic situation, and the advice is to build a separate place for them(sick people).

-This advice is also nonsense, because no one really cares for them and there is no money and no support, even i don't like to work there, when people need medical attention or very degrees of patience to stand and see how society has left them behind. yet, everyone working in a homeless shelter needs at least 2 weeks of training, on medical attention and security, no one can just go and help them, because it could be counter productive.

* The need of a better, more secure and more family friendly shelter.
where families with a bad economic situation can live there, and have programs to help them find a better place is needed ASAP. in the same place, veterans and those who have not been to jail nor have mental problems and are ok, in the medical sense.

And another building for those who need medical attention, another building for those who are ex-cons, separate building in a facility is the answer to everything i saw.

Ane thing, no, there wont be equality among those divided differently, for example, for those families in very bad economic situations, give them the option to chose among 3 kind of food to eat, and have more freedom in the sense of what to bring and what not to.

Have also a kind of grace period for those which their time is up and are examples.

Have a kind of sterile place for those sick and monitor them so they don't scare people

Have medical attention 24hrs

Have the police near

Give everyone the opportunity to work, instantly.

The opportunity to study, instantly

To have people helping them, instantly, not just a guard and a secretary doing all the work.

Economic Support

Looking at a map from Pakistan, and looking at some pictures from a Christian Foundation, calling everyone to their world, a world were their main religion is other, neglected by their government, most of their people, if not, those who have also betrayed their religion, alone, in between wars and ideological wars, impoverished by their location, in pain. Their world is lost, hunted by criminals, so called crusaders in their own land, terrorist and slavery, class division and collateral war effects, it gives me the perception we, those who spend more of their life wondering the universe, would have to trust some of their funding, in order to give them at least a hundred dollars a month, and family by family, member by member, we could help those in the other world, become our friends and have a bigger, better family of foundations and members...

But then, regardless the logic, one must first see them in their governmental list of foundations.

also, i would have to ask an national agency to give me the permits for that transaction.
