New information about America's veterans was just released this month. It tells us who they are, how they're doing, and what help they need. This matters for everyone who wants to support the people who served our country.

Why Houston Should Care

• For Helpers: Learn what veterans really need, not what we guess they need

• For City Leaders: Get facts about veteran health, jobs, and housing problems

• For Business Owners: Understand the skills veterans have and the help they need

• For Community Groups: See where veterans need more support

• For Veterans and Families: Know you're not alone and find help

The Social Trust Map is an interactive, scrollytelling experience that visualizes Weave's Social Trust Index for every neighborhood in the United States. This powerful tool helps communities understand where connection is taking root and where support is needed most.

By blending indicators of how people show up for each other (behaviors), how they feel and express care (intentions), and where connection happens (social spaces), the map provides an early signal for civic health that can guide community-building efforts.

It all begins with an idea.
