Helpthehomeless Library

A pure and powerful JavaScript Helpthehomeless library.

Helpthehomeless is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Helpthehomeless network allows for highly resilient Helpthehomeless infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement Helpthehomeless apps and services.
