Great work by our partners @sparrowmobile, helping get phones- a critical technology- into the hands of those that need it most.
Thank you @calhealthreport @fkritz for spotlighting this critical issue and sparrow's work connecting homeless people. We see first hand how smartphones make a difference - great to see more research that backs it up.

Here we are - just a matter of choice - if you have children or care about the future, time to demand an end to business as usual, in the meantime, there's lots of post-apocalyptic movies out there to provide a reference of what's to come... lnkd.in/gE4URk4

LEO embeds #evaluations into social programs designed by partners like @CCFortWorth & @sparrowmobile to assist those living in poverty. This helps identify the most impactful programs, giving providers and policymakers #evidence to make program and funding decisions. #TipTuesday
