##The Problem
13+
Agencies and organizations create and maintain many different community resource directories. Each organization applies similar resources and effort against a shared issue, but there is no shared knowledge. Although they share similar goals and challenges, these efforts work in isolation of each other.
14+
15+
1. Individuals seeking help are left to navigate confusing lists of resources that may or may not lead them to what they need.
16+
2. Social workers and other intermediaries must master multiple lists of competing information, making it hard to connect their clients to the relevant help.
17+
3. Community development initiatives are left paying for new research to understand the state of their community resources.

###Data - Many Locations and Formats
20+
21+
**Where does the data live?**
22+
23+
- internal contract management systems
24+
- printed resource guides
25+
- administration databases
26+
- internal PDFs
27+
- the minds of single employees
28+
29+
##Opportunity - Data should be free!
30+
31+
We see an opportunity to free this data so it can be:
32+
33+
- published in a standardized format
34+
- easily accessible
35+
- easy to update
36+
- a precedent for modern referral systems
37+
38+
And ultimately: **Deliver consistent, high quality social services to those in need!**
39+
40+
##Additional Resources
41+
42+
- Getting started guide
43+
- Mid-market pilot description
