Across place-based federal investments, agencies need to understand where needs remain, what services and capacity already exist, and whether proposed funding closes gaps, complements existing investments, or duplicates them.

The same questions arise across CMS's Rural Health Transformation Program, USDA's ReConnect and Community Connect grants, HRSA's Ryan White Program, and ACF's Head Start. Agencies must assess existing coverage, unmet needs, and potential duplication of federal investments.
The example below uses HRSA's Health Center Program, where reviewers evaluate proposed service sites and service-area changes against existing coverage and community needs. This work often requires specialized geographic analysis, fragmented data sources, and external expertise, making reviews costly and difficult to repeat consistently.

What's at stake: A weak overlap review can duplicate federal investment in communities already served or leave unmet needs unaddressed. Consistent, evidence-based analysis helps direct limited funding where it can expand access, supported by a defensible record of the data, policies, and judgments behind each decision.

About this extract
01
Overlap at a glance. Proposed sites, service areas, and existing health centers appear on one map, making geographic overlap immediately visible.
02
Need and coverage together. Layer population needs, health center penetration, existing coverage, and shortage areas to see where gaps remain despite existing services.
03
Findings tied to location. Select a ZIP code or site to examine local needs, nearby providers, and flagged findings without switching between reports.
