Shelter Bed Count App

This is my final project for Google Courera's UX Design class, an app to help shelters update unhoused people on how many beds are left in the shelter at any given time. 
The Unhoused signed is deliberately simple, allowing it to load on older phones with less processing power. The app would not automatically update, because unhoused users often have limited or unreliable access to WIFI. Instead the user would tap update when they have access WIFI. 
The Shelter side allows staff to enter vital shelter information and update bed count two ways: using a touchscreen or manual entry. On the manual entry screen, the user types in the new bed count. The touchscreen entry screen allows users to tap their phone for each person now occupying a bed in the shelter. As most shelters in my community are operating with fewer than ideal staffing, this should allow a shelter worker or volunteer to stand at the - often busy - shelter door and tap for each person coming in as they enter.
