The Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development, the DC Department of Housing and Community Development, and Urban–Greater DC partnered with Code for DC to develop Housing Insights, an open-source tool that uses data and technology to help government and community development staff make better investments in affordable housing. The tool compiles key data sources to help stakeholders identify properties that are at risk or difficult to replace, understand neighborhood demographic trends, and access information on individual properties needed for action. See other case studies in the series about St. Louis and Boston.
