NEW! The Opportunity Project

The Opportunity Project
“The Opportunity Project,” is a Federal government-led open data effort to improve economic mobility for all Americans. It provides easy access to the new package of Opportunity Project data, a combination of Federal and local data, on key assets that determine access to opportunity at the neighborhood level. This data can now be used by technologists, community groups, and local governments in order to help families find affordable housing, help businesses identify services they need, and help policymakers see inequities in their communities and make investments to expand fair housing and increase economic mobility.
