Online Panel Discussion.
ndianapolis experiences hundreds of eviction filings each week, yet until recently, residents, advocates, researchers, and policymakers had limited access to timely, public information about where evictions were occurring and how trends were changing over time. The new Indy Housing Project Eviction Data Dashboard was created to help change that by providing near real-time eviction data, interactive maps, and public access to information that can support research, advocacy, tenant organizing, service delivery, and informed decision-making.
Join City Rising for a conversation with Patricia Basile, Kristina Trinity Hartley, and Mark Latta as they discuss why the dashboard was created, what eviction data reveals about housing instability in Marion County, and how community-based partnerships can develop practical technology tools that strengthen public understanding and response.
Panelists will explore the realities and impacts of eviction, the process of designing and building the dashboard, lessons learned from transforming court records into accessible public information, and future plans for expanding the platform. The discussion will also highlight how the technology developed for Indianapolis can be adapted by other communities seeking to create their own eviction data dashboards and strengthen local housing data infrastructure.
Whether you are a housing advocate, researcher, nonprofit leader, public official, funder, journalist, or concerned resident, this webinar will offer an inside look at how community-driven data tools can help make complex social issues more visible and more actionable.
