Civic Hall Labs: ReferNYC
In spring 2017, Civic Hall Labs received funds under the Criminal Justice Investment Initiative (CJII) to develop ReferNYC, a collaborative effort between several city agencies and community-based organizations to develop an open data infrastructure that can streamline the work of providing referrals. The goal is to work toward developing a solution that can improve the data that organizations have on health, human, and social services in the city and eliminate or reduce the work needed to keep that information up-to-date.
