The Problem
Homelessness is a growing issue in many municipalities, driven by various factors unique to each region. A thorough data analysis can help target funding to the programs that most effectively address this complex problem.
The Solution
The municipality collected data on unhoused individuals, their interactions with support staff, and shelter usage. Dimensional Strategies Inc. (DSI) consolidated this information to deliver insights into the effectiveness of different social programs, allowing scarce tax dollars to be allocated to the programs that offer the greatest benefits.
