Our systems for accessing government services in the U.S. are incredibly complex. Each year, people spend over 10 billion hours completing government forms, and families looking to apply for public benefits encounter one barrier after another. Research shows that the need to navigate complicated requirements and re-enter sensitive personal information repeatedly can feel dehumanizing. These challenges, among others, lead to over $80 billion in funded benefits going unclaimed every year.
CiviForm was originally built by Google.org fellows and the City of Seattle and is now entering a new development and implementation phase. As Exygy moves into the role of product stewardship, this is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with our partners at Google.org and new jurisdictions on a tool that has a tangible impact on residents. Our team works to use design and technology to improve lives, and this technical team will help set a vision for CiviForm’s future scale and governance.
