The Community Housing Data Tool was developed to provide information and resources to individuals, families, and organizations interested in learning more about the state of housing in Boston communities. It was co-created with the Community Data Workgroup, a diverse team of individual residents and organizational community partners, who provides valuable direction in forming the framework and topics, in the Data Tool. Building on guidance from the data workgroup, the Data Tool intends to make the most relevant information and resources on housing accessible to Boston families.

Emphasizing the relationship between health and housing, the tool shares data maps and resources about four categories of support systems: in-house quality and safety, community and external quality and safety, accessibility of affordable living options, and stability support. The tool presents a dynamic model for integrating equity within data sharing efforts that center the lived experience and voices of groups of populations that have been relatively less highlighted in discussions on housing. The interactive tool ultimately aims to promote equitable and safe housing environments in all Boston neighborhoods.
