When the state of Kansas requested support for their UI system, four volunteers worked with the Department of Labor and the Office of Information Technology Services to get the benefits application site up and running again.
The Louisiana Department of Health launched Louisiana Health Work Connect, with start-to-finish support from volunteers with technical expertise. This pilot program connects facilities with acute healthcare staffing shortages to qualified candidates who are otherwise out of work.

We identify experts who match the skills you need, as quickly as the same day we receive your request.
Skills include: engineering, design, operations, data science, supply chain management, policy, content strategy, marketing and more.
We help you implement lean and effective solutions that work with your systems, like improved database management, user experience design, content strategy, and tracking dashboards.
We build alongside your teams, so everyone is trained and prepared for handoff.
We’re working with hundreds of cities, counties, states, and federal agencies around the country, and can appropriately share best practices across our network.
Our volunteers work with your team to understand your needs, and get you the tools you need to deliver critical services to the people who need them — all within a few days to weeks.
Our diverse cohort of volunteers has deep expertise, spanning engineering, data science, content strategy, design, logistics and supply chain, and disaster response.
We provide rapid staffing to governments of all sizes, from small cities to large states, in areas ranging from public health to economic recovery, and much in between.
If you are unsure of how to address a challenge, USDR can help to assess the problem first, before you invest in costly solutions.
