Operation Iron Gate is the accountability platform for homeless services — built to track every person, every provider, and every outcome in real time.
California’s own State Auditor called it “a data desert.”
State Auditor Report 2023-102.1 · April 2024In 2024, California’s State Auditor delivered a verdict the state couldn’t answer.
$24 billion spent over five years — and no reliable way to say what worked. The agency responsible for tracking it stopped in 2021.
Of five major programs reviewed, only two could be shown to be cost-effective. Three — holding $9.4 billion — couldn’t be evaluated at all, because the data didn’t exist.
Nearly one in three people left programs for “unknown” destinations. No one could say where they went.
You cannot fix what you refuse to measure.
A coordinated operating system for homeless services — engineered so no one gets lost, and so every case, every handoff, and every outcome can be seen and proven.
Every person, every step, from the front door to housing. No more “unknown destinations” — the system always knows where someone is.
No one falls off the mapReferrals are tracked to outcomes, not just sent. The numbers show who delivers and who doesn’t.
Sent is not the same as servedHousing is checked at 30, 60, 90, and 180 days. Success means the help held — not that a form was filed.
Measured at 30 / 60 / 90 / 180 daysA person without ID still moves the same day. No one waits at the door, and no one falls through the cracks.
Same-day access, every timeOperation Iron Gate carries a public transparency layer — so results can be watched in the open, not buried in a report no one updates.
A short executive brand film — why this crisis is happening now, and what makes this technology different.
