The Challenge: Making Government Services Accessible to All

    ✅ With over 1.2 million residents, including 53,000 low-income households, Hennepin County faced growing pressure to make public services more accessible.
    ✅ Manual, in-person processes created barriers for residents seeking assistance with housing, healthcare, and benefits.
    ✅ To serve a diverse population, the county needed a multilingual, ADA-compliant self-service solution that could operate across multiple community hubs.
