Interactive Mapping Tool

  • Users can generate an interactive report summarizing RIHousing programs, demographic trends and housing conditions in their community.
  • Users can explore current information and historical trends and see how their community compares to the rest of the state.

Purpose of this tool

Engaging with legislators: Our primary goal was to provide a new way for state and local legislators to explore our impact on their district. By combining our program data with demographic and housing data, we can demonstrate how our programs are meeting constituents’ needs.

Communicating with partners & public: The tool is a valuable resource for our partner organizations and community members as users can explore a wide range of data and create a snapshot of their community’s housing needs.

Informing our program planning: This tool allows RIHousing to quickly assess how our programs are distributed across the state, and how they align with local housing needs. This insight will strengthen our internal program planning and evaluation.
