MRelief (YC W16 Nonprofit) makes public assistance more accessible
- RoseAfriyie 11y agoHello HN Community! My name is Rose Afriyie and I am one of the founders of mRelief. We are a team of software developers that emerged from #chihacknight, Chicago's weekly event for civic technology. V1 of mRelief was built in partnership with Chicago's Innovation Delivery team to address backlogs in programs like rental assistance where 10,000 applications are filed but only 400 people qualify. We use a simple Web and SMS platform to help people find out if they qualify and are excited to use our platform to take people through the entire process of receiving needed benefits.
