    This sounds awesome. What is the URL? Is it a REST service? Json-based? Does it require an authentication token? What kind of data limits are in place?

    Additional notes: could use Twilio for sending SMS. Could use a rails (or sinatra or whatever) server to interpret and respond to messages with some kind of lightweight data-store to keep the shelter info in for easy retrieval.

    The real challenge here is to aggregate the data and to do basic research with the individual shelters to find out
    1. if they are willing to provide a near-real-time feed of how many open beds there are (possibly by a shelter administrator/helper via text message sent to the same app?
    2. What data would be most useful to send out
    etc (brainstorm more questions on-site)

    Possible app/team names- Shelterator, Datahome, BunkBroadcast, ShelterStatus

  3. Rethinking procurement to save taxpayer dollars, stimulate the local economy, and improve service delivery.
