In the current climate of restricted budgets and widening income gaps, urban communities find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to finding and measuring affordable housing within its geographic boundaries. Communities are in the unenviable position of planning and responding to land use development without access to accurate and timely data that allows them to review and act thoughtfully on proposed changes.
It's clear that these communities and neighborhoods, representing a wide range of economic interests, are in a unique position to leverage their quantitative and qualitative data collection within the New York City OpenData ecosystem. With the guidance of System Dynamics modeling our project goal is to enable that transformation by providing communities within the city the open-source tools and methods to find, evaluate and measure affordable housing.
