Case Study: City of Philadelphia improves grant reporting and strategic planning with PolicyMap

City of Philadelphia - Customer Case Study

The City of Philadelphia needed a faster, more efficient way to complete federal grant applications, which required gathering many indicators from multiple data sources and tying them to specific geographies. To help, the city turned to PolicyMap, a mapping and data platform that lets users map thousands of local and national datasets in seconds.

Using PolicyMap, Philadelphia streamlined grant reporting and created a custom report to support quarterly HUD reporting for the Choice Neighborhood grant. The solution also helped city staff with research, strategic planning, and the Assessment of Fair Housing, while enabling departments to upload local data, create maps, and compare neighborhood changes against city and national benchmarks.
