LOCAL PARTNERS IN NNIP
The defining functions

Facilitating and promoting the direct practical use of data by community and city leaders in community building and local policy making
Emphasizing the use of information to build the capacities of institutions and residents in distressed neighborhoods
The Urban Institute / National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership
1) Data and Technology
People relate to data analysis at the neighborhood level.
2) Institutions
- Long-term and multifaceted interests
- Positioned to maintain trust of data providers and users
3) Progressive Mission: Information for Change
NNIP Success Requires Three Innovations
The Urban Institute / National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership
Shared Mission: Information for Change
Democratizing Information– Facilitate the direct use of data by stakeholders
Work for many clients – Technical assistance to nonprofits– Informing city’s service provision– Market analysis for local retail
But a central focus on strengthening, empowering low-income neighborhoods
Information as a bridge for collaboration among residents, public agencies, nonprofits, businesses
The Urban Institute / National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership

Lead Poisoning
How does this work in practice?
The Urban Institute / National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership
Milwaukee: Lead Poisoning
Lead-poisoned children have more learning disabilities, require more special education, and are more likely to enter the juvenile justice system
Nonprofit Center cleans & geocodes lead tests, then shares data and maps among all partners
City uses data to target abatement programs, justify funding and gain political support
Nonprofits use “walk-lists” to take next steps
Combining the strengths of each partner resulted in large improvements in children’s health
