Transforming Community Support: A Scalable Resource Mapping Solution
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, West Coast Consulting Group collaborated with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to address an urgent and growing need: centralized, accessible information for vulnerable communities. The result was the SF BOS COVID-19 City Services Map, a powerful tool designed to connect residents with essential resources in real time.
This interactive map provided critical information on childcare, COVID-19 testing sites, educational support, handwashing stations, to-go food options for low-income and unhoused individuals, mental health and substance abuse services, senior services, technology access points, and more. It also highlighted life-saving services such as the Homeless Outreach Team’s Street Medicine urgent assistance line, ensuring 24/7 support for the city’s most at-risk populations.
From Crisis Response to Long-Term Impact
What began as a rapid-response tool during a public health crisis has proven to be much more. The SF City Services Map stands as a model for how targeted, digital solutions can empower communities, quickly, efficiently, and compassionately. At West Coast Consulting Group, we see this as a blueprint. Whether it’s disaster relief, housing insecurity, public health outreach, or community development, this mapping framework can be adapted to serve any city, any region, and any need. By integrating real-time data, local partnerships, and intuitive design, we help communities stay connected to the resources they need when they need them most.
