The path to economic self-sufficiency is a journey, not a one time thing. There are a lot of challenges along the way, including the digital divide, an over load of information, not having a single source of truth, and the diversity of needs in various communities.

The "Journey" below of Chelsea is one of the first artifacts created in the Census Data Sprint.   The CEBOT Tech Team is exploring technology and workflow challenges in designing a system that is designed to "Hack" poverty by better integrating program intent, stakeholder participation and framing a digital pathway for people in need.

The ACCP Digital Collaboration Platform was created to unify our nation and build together the critical relationships and infrastructure needed to restore the health and economy of the United States.  The broader impact of this research includes new international economic development methodologies.

There’s no greater economic engine in the world than the hard work and ingenuity of the American people. ACCP brings together industry, government, academia, service providers and community to digitally create a path towards economic mobility and self-sufficiency for targeted participants across United States.

The current version of the ACCP service offering introduces a three year longitudinal research on over 660,000 current HUD housing support recipients located in 50 Public Housing Authority (PHA) jurisdictions across the United States.  This "iMembers Portal" program is set to launch September 13, 2023. 

America’s Community Collaboration Platform virtually connects help-desk advocates to citizens facilitating technology readiness, community partnerships and jobs.

Looking Forward Research & Development

The Federal Government has strategic data to leverage for problems only the force of the government and industry can mitigate.  

The Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT) is participating in a 12-week Data Lab Sprint facilitated by the U.S Department of Commerce, U.S. Census.  CEBOT's Tech Team chose to develop a digital solution for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Self Sufficiency problem.  The problem statement was in alignment with prior CEBOT research on Learning and Technology Based Economic Development.  

CEBOT plans to provide an area benefit through digital navigation and program interoperability for  Low to Moderate income citizens.  The App will connect to a "Help Desk" level service to assist in community navigation.

The Census Lab team will provide the CEBOT Tech Team access to subject-matter and data experts to accelerate their progress. By emphasizing virtual communication, we make cross-sector collaboration easy and effective.

Building solutions to our nation’s toughest challenges

CEBOT Tech Team meet with Product Specialists from outside of government to help ensure that the products and services created by the team continue after the sprints, so that CEBOT, CEBOT Members and Stakeholders can reach a defined set of target end users and have real, lasting and sustainable impact.

Federal government policy experts help to identify problems facing the public. Data stewards from federal agencies answer questions about open data to help the tech teams find and use the best data available to solve the problem. They also listen to feedback from sprint participants to make data more user-friendly.

Tech Teams from across the nation are now in an open data "Sprint" to develop digital collaboration platforms that enable low income families to holistically assess their needs and connect with the best federal, state and local programs to equip and empower them toward self-sufficiency and economic mobility.

Tech Teams are the private sector companies, universities, non-profits, and even students who participate in sprints to build products that translate open data into valuable tools for people across the country. The tech teams design, own, and help to launch the products they build.

The Term Low to Moderate income could be $80,000 for families in Los Angeles.  Providing Community Development Block Grant  (CDBG) qualified Area Benefits "virtually" is relevant and to connect benefits, opportunities and learning resources for applied entrepreneurship becomes effective as data is used to assist in workflow and decision making.  

Approximately 30 departments and agencies across the federal government offer over 200 federal programs that could assist low income families in their journeys towards self-sufficiency. There are also innumerable private programs intended to achieve the same end. However, the sheer number of programs and the lack of integration and accessibility create unnecessary barriers for families to find, connect with, and utilize the services that best suit their particular needs.

The CEBOT Led Tech Team has accepted the federal government's statements that it lacks the reach to serve America's most vulnerable.  Government is seeking to work with the private and public sector to extend America's safety net through innovation and community focus.    

For CEBOT's Tech Team connect benefits, opportunities and learning resources for applied entrepreneurship requires a coordination and this government partnership ensures CEBOT access to the federal, state and local data to assist in workflow and participant decision making.  

User Advocates are community leaders, advocates, and people with direct lived experience that can help the tech teams design products that are realistic, useful, and solve a problem for the target end users. For example, user advocates for a veterans problem statement might include service providers and veterans themselves.

Engagement requires value and produces consensus when process is key.  Governance gives rise to planned growth both individually and throughout the ecosystem.

Growth rises when not stifled by moral hazard.   CEBOT algorithms facilitate a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes.

Innovation liberates possibilities, improves systems and can transform bureaucracies into managed serviced/resource based functions.
