STIR

As part of a City Innovate's STIR program, Clark County has asked interested vendors and organizations to submit proposals as part of a civic challenge for emergency alerts and a toolkit empowering remote workers.

STIR program announces its 2019 challenges as an innovative way for government entities to allocate resources, drive faster decision making, and prioritize service delivery.

Every government depends on data to run efficiently and serve people effectively. If it’s managed well, it largely goes unnoticed, but where there’s a gap people start to receive inadequate services, and governments struggle to allocate resources.

Affordable housing and homelessness are critical issues across the country that don’t just affect the few; they affect millions of people from coast to coast, causing downstream impacts on everything from community health to economic development to climate.

After an intensive application process, the 2019 cohort of the Startup in Residence (STIR) program is officially off and running. This year saw growth beyond the areas served by last year’s program, with 31 government partners — including cities, counties, states, and regional authorities — participating in the program, up from nine jurisdictions last cohort.
