Population Data Collection by Neighborhoods and Churches
Purpose
Collaborate with local neighborhoods and churches to conduct comprehensive data collection focusing on demographic, health, and wealth indicators, especially within low-income communities. This data will be essential for assessing and documenting markers of healthy living and economic growth, and for informing low-income administrative economic programs.
Value
By partnering with trusted local institutions, H2BE will ensure that data collection is both accurate and culturally sensitive, leading to higher participation rates in underrepresented areas. The collected data will be crucial for designing and implementing effective low-income administrative economic programs that address the specific needs of Detroit’s most vulnerable populations.
Lessons Learned Documentation
H2BE will maintain a thorough record of lessons learned throughout the data collection process. This documentation will include best practices, challenges, and strategies for improving data collection methods in the future. These insights will be instrumental in refining the City’s approach to community engagement and in enhancing the effectiveness of programs targeting economic uplift in low-income neighborhoods.
