From 2014 to 2018, the MacArthur-supported Civic Tech and Data Collaborative brought together government officials, civic technologists, and local organizations across seven communities to explore how to harness data and technology to benefit low-income residents. Drawing on local experiences, the Collaborative produced a framework, case studies, and a toolkit for engaging residents, mobilizing communities, and maintaining civic tech gains. The Collaborative is guided by three national organizations: Living Cities, Code for America, and the Urban Institute’s National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership.
