CfB Announcement

Instigator: Introduce our project at the beginning of a CfB Meetup

Hi, I'm ___ and I'm working with Cliff Effects. A cliff effect goes something like this: you're receiving public benefits and you get a 50 cent raise. Suddenly your benefits cut out and you're bringing in less than you were before, maybe putting you underwater. Predicting when this'll happen is not possible for a human to do. We're working with Project Hope and our goal is to help case managers help their clients better predict how their changes in circumstances will affect their benefits. We're using Reactjs and we're currently looking at:

• rethinking our UX/UI
• strengthening our architecture
• checking our understanding of policy
• building robust tests
• translators for localizing the app (esp. Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese)

We're looking for:

• designers
• and coders
• and policy interpreters

Thank you!
