Why Eviction Data Access Matters?
Data transparency, particularly eviction access matters to increasing awareness about critical housing issues and strengthening community’s response to said issues. Local courts are processing eviction cases Monday - Friday. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and throughout an active evictions moratorium issued by the Center for Disease Control, eviction filings and case hearings have been active.
Access to eviction data is the first step to communicating the impact of evictions, increasing awareness, understanding, and exploring opportunities for collaborative approaches to prevention and intervention. Through increased eviction data access, unevictIA project aims to connect and strengthen the capacity of stakeholders in the public, non-profit, and private sectors to explore and act on opportunities to engage in eviction prevention. unevictIA project will develop a zip-code level Iowa eviction data dashboard that can be used to conduct responsive and targeted eviction prevention outreach while investigating opportunities for advocacy and systems level transformative change.
