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.

unevictIA launched in May with amazing support from my community and peers at the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, HealthConnect Fellows and partners. 6 months in, we're beyond thrilled to announce the pilot of our interactive eviction mapping exhibit - MIND THE MAP. Our new friend, Zeb Beilke-McCallum recently told us that we don't spend enough time talking about our dreams and aspirations, individually and as a collective. I hope we embrace communal vulnerability. Let us dream out loud about the type of community we want to be. Let us be brave enough to actually create that community. Join us in person and virtually for interactive encounters with eviction data. We will have engaging conversations with dreamers and doers. We will strategize ways to create more accessible futures and community for ALL. If will power and resources meet right at the center, our community has the capacity to ensure that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and stable housing. Let's dream and do together to create this future for our community.

We look forward to seeing you at MIND THE MAP.
