Proof from the communities we serve.
Evaluations that cities, counties, and the state used to make decisions.
What communities told us, and what changed.
Evaluations powered by KTI, delivered with our licensed partner B-Konnected, LLC.
City and County of Denver
Council Members Shontel Lewis and Sarah Parady hired us to hear directly from unhoused residents about what winter safety really takes. In two weeks, 78% said they lacked adequate clothing, and 83% said fear of losing their belongings kept them from shelter.
- $7 million decision for more warming shelters, informed by what residents told us

Denver All Mile High Shelter and Operations
Council Members Shontel Lewis and Sarah Parady were hearing concerns, and the nonprofit shelter operator had no budget for an evaluation, so they brought us in. 108 shelter residents rated their experience.
- Same staff at a 66-unit site and a 211-unit site
- 96% rated case management positively, but fewer than half could reach it
- $26 million workforce center for District 8, supported by the findings
We proposed restructuring service delivery so limited resources reach every resident. Findings were presented to Denver City Council.
Colorado Department of Human Services
We turned years of county performance data into live maps the state could use to see and share its results.
“The analysis includes a Social Impact score providing a comprehensive understanding of the resident’s well-being which can help predict future risks to resident stability.”
