Android App of the Week – Gift Card Project

More than 550,000 people experience homelessness on a single night in the United States, according to the 2016 Annual Homeless Assessment Report published last November. As cell phone use proliferates within the most vulnerable population, developers have begun creating apps that address the needs of the homeless. The goal of these apps is to either connect altruistic users to resources or bring vital resources like shelters, rehabilitation centers, or food pantries directly to homeless people.
