This October, CURA’s GIS Manager, Karyn Kerdolff, attended the National Neighborhood Indicator Partner's (NNIP) annual meeting held in New Orleans, LA. The conference was hosted by The Data Center and The Open Wealth Consortium.
NNIP is a group of organizations from over 30 cities across the United States, that have the shared goal of ensuing communities the skills to access and even create localized data to advance both the well-being and equity across neighborhoods. NNIP is coordinated through the Urban Institute and is made up of partners from across several sectors including local government, planning organizations, foundations, and higher education.
The annual conference is a time for partners to come together to share current work, successes, lessons learned, and of course data! Adam Porr, member of Columbus's co-partner MORPC, was honored with the Network Steward of the Year Award. Adam was recognized for his support of through partners through his technical assistance, sharing of challenges and making connections to other experts.
CURA would like highlight some of the work done by our NNIP partners:
- Open Wealth Consortium's and The Data Center's (New Orleans) work in measuring and addressing the racial wealth gap.
- Data You Can Use's (Milwaukee) affordable housing data work and Reclaiming Our Neighborhood.
- Neighborhood Nexus' (Atlanta) Atlanta POV regional panel survey work.
