JeffSolves Summer Sprint Challenge 2026: Protecting Access to Health Benefits
Something important is happening across our city, region, and state, and we want you to be part of it. We need innovative ideas that make a real difference.
Across our region, thousands of neighbors are at risk of losing access to the health coverage, food support, and benefits they count on. Sometimes it happens because of one missed notice. One confusing form. One new requirement. One document that never gets submitted.
The impact is real. Families lose care. People lose stability. Communities carry the weight.
Over 6 weeks, teams will learn from people on the front lines, develop ideas, build prototypes, test solutions, and present their work to partners who care about real impact.
