The unit is frequently involved in citywide events, special projects in conjunction with multiple city agencies, and targeted days of action.

The PEU Data & Analytics Team plays a crucial role in PEU’s outreach work. The team leads the deployment of new data and technology-driven strategies to connect New Yorkers to important city services. These strategies include improving outreach universes, managing infrastructure for peer-to-peer texting, phone banking, and canvassing, and analyzing results to drive operational improvement.
