The open source API directory of community social services.

Ohana API

Ohana API is a Ruby on Rails application that makes it easy for communities to publish and maintain a database of social services, and allows developers to build impactful applications that serve underprivileged residents.

This is the API + Admin Interface portion of the Ohana project, developed by @monfresh, @spara, and @anselmbradford during their Code for America Fellowship in 2013, in partnership with San Mateo County's Human Services Agency.

Apps built on top of Ohana API include a web-based search interface and an SMS app that allow anyone to easily find services that are available in a particular community.
