The campus community is invited to the launch of the The Central Valley Housing Data Repository, which is an associated Fresno State research in action project in the Central Valley that will allow researchers, policy-makers, and community based organizations to collaborate and share projects and research to address housing disparities.
The repository is an open data platform currently in the beta stage that holds data related to housing and neighborhood impact for use by public stakeholders. It allows for online collaboration across organizations and researchers, but is also a live project that encourages new research collaborations between university researchers and the community for additional data and insights needed for emerging policy priorities. The repository acts as a centralized hub for housing data that can lead to action and reform. Read more in Fresno State News.
