Professional Feedback
Choosing to focus on homelessness shows you are paying attention to something a lot of people walk past every day without really thinking about. The fact that this project is built to support homeless people directly and also give others research to understand the issue means you are tackling it from two angles at once, helping the people affected and educating the people who are not. That combination is what makes real change happen, because awareness alone does not feed or house anyone, but action without understanding does not last either. If you wanted to take this further, connecting users directly to nearby shelters, food banks, or local resources in real time could turn the research side of the app into something someone could actually use the moment they need help. Strong work, Joshua, Louis, Adrian, Mya and Peyton, this is a project built around real compassion for your community.
