Governments around the nation are faced with issues like homelessness, blight, opioid addiction, access to care, veterans’ services, access to transit, and many more. New technology innovations, like GIS, big data and analytics, can bridge the gap between resources and the less fortunate, shorten the cycle to solve inequities and better inform policymaking.
