Houston, United States

2012 challenge

Mayor Annise Parker has made neighborhood issues and accessible city services a top priority in her administration. In 2011, Mayor Parker established the Department of Neighborhoods as a "one-stop" for residents seeking assistance with neighborhood issues. The City of Houston seeks assistance from IBM as it investigates opportunities to connect school-aged students to services that strengthen families and schools, including provision of some public services online; making relevant data on programs, services and resources more readily available; and strengthening collaboration with the Houston Independent School District and other partners.
