We build programs that transform social services

We have a track record of delivering high volume, high-impact programs with nonprofits and governments using thoughtfully designed, well-coordinated technology. Together, we reduce barriers and get services and resources out to communities quickly and equitably.

Winter Storm Uri

We coordinated home repair relief in partnership with the City of Houston, Harris County, Greater Houston Community Foundation and United Way. We launched an assessment survey to determine our communities’ most pressing needs and used that real-time survey data to make recommendations to our partners. To date, more than $7 million in assistance has been provided.

Eviction Diversion & Prevention Initiative

We aim to create a coordinated eviction prevention and diversion program that leverages community partnerships and resources to reduce the number of evictions in our area, streamline processes and give those at risk better access to resources that keep them housed.

Tropical Storm Imelda Recovery Assistance

We launched an assessment survey to determine our communities’ most pressing needs after Tropical Storm Imelda. This real-time data connected those in need to available financial assistance and minor home repair services.

Public Benefits Screening

In partnership with Benefits Kitchen and LISC Houston, Connective is piloting a Public Benefits Screener with the goal of increasing public benefits access and streamlining the screening and application process for LISC Houston’s Financial Opportunity Centers service clients. The pilot is currently in the visioning phase with key stakeholders.

Connective Texts

We launched Connective Texts to connect residents with resources. Residents sign up to receive 2-3 texts a week about resources in their specific area, including food distributions, rent payment assistance, utility assistance, legal support and more.
