The Mapping Project uses exciting new software tools for the management, manipulation and display of geographically referenced data. With this software, you can see the location of services in the county and overlay that information with the appropriate census data. You can see where your clients live and where potential clients might come from.

Human service agencies, community-based organizations, schools, funders, and city and county departments can use maps to examine the present situation and plan for the future. An agency can determine how best to reach its target audience by focusing on those areas with the most dense concentration .
