I hope this is the "right" place to get help. Last time was a BIG failure.
I'm trying to take my idea for my app and make it. more concrete. At first it's a simple database and UI to fill it. Then it becomes a networked database (file and field locking). Next step is iPhone or iPad entry in the field.
So first step is ironing out the database. Then it's internet communication to the database.
Once I get. that step comes the creative part. At first the entry form would remain fixed. But the goal is to be able to use the database for filling out other forms and add them to the database.
I'm hoping to get the grant from NNCEH or NC Coalition to End Homelessness. Which means this must help get them off the streets and into stable housing and healthcare.
There will be mountains of forms to be submitted. If the database expanded for each new "field" or piece of information, in turn it could be used to fill in other forms.
Then the database could be updated routinely to indicate eligibility for other programs like food stamps, etc.. Then the forms to apply for that would be generated. This database could also b´us´d as the central location for information. such as food banks. That eliminates the old mimeo sheets (out of date) that are passed around.
In short I want to the movement to end homelessness a push into the "information age" making forms easier as well as keeping up to date.
My company is a real 501(c)(3) corp, so there will be no charge to social agencies who ask for access. The actual equity is the database. Imagine that with a report writer for the Database it could be used to predict changes. Most importantly it can predict what's needed by the homeless with real figures not "gut feelings".
North Carolina has a job description called Certified Peer Support Specialist. They interact with the homeless so they would be the ones with iPhones entering information in the field.
I've been so long winded to

I've been so long winded to
give a good picture of where I'm going and what I need to get there.

show what an impact this program could have once deployed.
