The ilivehere.info website provides youth and adults easy access to information specific to their address and zip code, allowing young people and adults to generate, analyze and utilize this information for themselves and their communities.

ilivehere.info is powered by the greenstat software.

greenstat guarantees that communities have access to the most accurate and freshest data through a real-time updating process with the resources themselves able to update and augment their own information directly on the website.

greenstat will also make it possible for localities and intermediaries to host the ilivehere database on their own website while maintaining their identity with little setup or maintenance.

The greenstat software is developed with a strong emphasis on sustainability, in that there are many automated tools that prompt organizations to update their information, and that give visual indicators to the public and data administrators as to “data freshness”. If a resource does not update their data, the iconic tree will lose leaves, informing the user that the information may not be fresh.

The software is also designed to allow for multiple partners within a state to share the task of data administration which can lessen the burden on any one agency to carry out the task. The initial dollars currently committed to maintaining separate databases and/or resource lists will decrease quickly over time. The software takes existing technology, common in the for-profit world, and brings it to human services.

ilivehere.info and greenstat are products of Youthline America, a nonprofit building a safe and interactive communication system for young people. It is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Surdna Foundation.
