Matthew Page-Shelton and OpenLattice at the National CoResponder Conference networking event together last night!

Almost 5 years ago the Obama CTO's office brought together CJ, health & data experts from 26 states & asked them to identify their biggest challenge. The answer? People struggling with mental illness & addiction who needed treatment instead of jail.

In fact, we updated the DDJ playbook to help! So grateful to so many folks who helped build DDJ - I miss the CTO JEDI crew. And thank you to John Arnold for taking a chance on an early stage venture!

What did we learn? Johnson County, Iowa used DDJ data to successfully advocate for a sobering center as an arrest alternative & to connect people to permanent supportive housing. In just 9 months, the permanent supportive housing program prevented 235 nights in jail.

In Middlesex, MA, Middlesex Sheriff found that 2% of the population made up 13-15% of police contacts & that mental health clinicians helped divert people from jail. The data is helping shape plans for a new crisis diversion facility.

Thanks to support from Arnold Ventures, three communities provided the leadership commitment & coordination and OpenLattice provided a privacy-protected data sharing platform.

Data-Driven Justice Releases Final Reports | ⁦Arnold Ventures⁩, 3 pilot sites & ⁦NACo⁩ published findings and recs from a multi-year initiative using data and coordination to better align resources to respond to people with complex needs. arnoldventures.org/stories/data-d…

Of course, recognition has to go to former colleagues Lynn Overmann Catie Bialick Nikki Smith-Kea and Harrison Crist for their leadership and tireless efforts and technology partner OpenLattice for helping connect the data of people in crisis to the services they need.

The next gov tech failure is already happening. Sadly, expect more if we don’t have technologists, designers, and data scientists at the table early in the process— technologyreview.com/2021/01/30/101…

Happening TOMORROW at 1 PM! Don't miss this great event from Massive Data Institute (MDI) ft. Amy O'Hara and Matthew Tamayo-Rios from OpenLattice. RSVP today!

We're honored to be included on the list for 2021! The pandemic underscored how high quality data is critical to making more informed decisions, and we're excited to continue our work in the coming year. govtech.com/100/2021/

Attendees loved it. For anyone who works to improve effectiveness and efficiency in government services in our modern world, this simple webinar is a must-see.

The sentiment is captured well by @RyanKo: 'Just wow.”

Looks like it's going to be a very full house tomorrow, so we've made extra time for Q&A. Looking forward to an awesome discussion!

25% of police killings are people w/mental illness. A purely public health response to mental health crisis & drug overdose is a viable solution. #DataDrivenJustice started to tackle this in 2016. Lots more to do.

For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)

8. Establish non-police alternatives to 911 calls involving people with mental illness. For example, 1 in 5 of the 911 calls in Eugene, OR are diverted to mental health first responders instead of police to respond. A success being scaled in Portland. wsj.com/articles/when-…

7. Invest in alternatives to police as crime prevention strategies. Every 10 additional organizations in a city:

- Reduces the murder rate by 9%
- Reduces violent crime rate by 6%
- Reduces property crime rate by 4%
