About this Project
In many NYC neighborhoods, more than half of renters are rent-burdened, and existing housing platforms lack key information on section 8, rent stabilization, and more. Clarus addresses this by offering a simple platform that helps low-to-moderate income residents find affordable and stable housing that suits their needs. Our app has a chatbot for guidance that is based on our users preferences, a housing search tool, and a resource page, allowing users to access key resources for NYC renters.

WOW, I'm blown away by every aspect of this app!! From market research, to design to resources to leveraging AI, you'll did a brilliant job! Kudos to your mentor for helping you'll redirect to NYC affordable housing, which is a desperate need of the hour. Only minor suggestion would be to have some kind of community forum where users could connect and share their experiences which can be a reference point for other people.
I really hope your project goes far and can wait to see the ads for it everywhere :)
