In the world of housing and community development, data-driven decisions are key to maximizing impact. One tool that’s transforming the way we approach this work is Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Visualizing data geographically allows us to identify areas with the greatest need and allocate resources efficiently. From site selection for affordable housing to planning community services, GIS empowers us to make informed decisions based on real-time data. At Harris County Housing & Community Development we're exploring innovative ways to use GIS to enhance the quality of life for the communities we serve. With its ability to analyze and visualize complex data, this technology can make a real difference in how we approach growth, sustainability, and equity. Thank you Cheryl Wilder for taking us there! #GIS #HousingDevelopment #CommunityImpact #AffordableHousing #DataDrivenDecisions #harriscountyhcd
