Pittsburgh Police Testing App To Help Homeless

by Amy Corr @MediaPostOTL, June 8, 2016

Random App of the week: Pittsburgh Police officers are testing an app designed to help homeless people find local services like food and shelter, in real time. The app, called BigBurgh, allows users to enter their age and gender to find nearby places for food, shelter, medical services or a shower. It also allows users to identify if they are veterans or transgender. The app isn't available in iTunes or Google Play because a credit card is needed to create an account. It's available at BigBurgh.com. The app also includes a link for "live street help," which opens a live chat with an outreach worker about a person's location and problem.
