Comprehensive Statewide Provider Database and Geomapping Tools for Child and Family Services in Illinois

The Statewide Provider Database, developed by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services, aims to enhance accessibility and utilization of services at the individual, agency, and system levels. Launched in 2008, it includes information on over 1,320 agencies, 2,700 programs, and 15,000 services. The platform supports caseworkers and helps assess resource gaps. Utilizing geomapping for gap analysis, it facilitates spatial analysis of service locations and areas of need, promoting collaboration and efficiency in service delivery across Illinois.
