(2018)
Description
The New America Public Interest Technology “Financial Inclusion &
Citizen Participation” (FI&CP) project is focused on evaluating the
public and private financial policies, tools and practice (FPTP) that
impact the ability for people to increase their personal and family
wealth. The FI&CP is evaluating the PFTP case study cities of New
York (Bronx City), Chic a go, IL, New Orleans, LA, and St. Louis, MO
using big and small/community data to identify use and access to
financial services such as credit cards and mortgages. The New
Orleans case study focuses on p3GIS (public and private
participation geographic information systems) in a dynamic study of
the Neighborhood Development Foundation (NDF) First Time
Homebuyer (32 years) and Financial Fitness (10 years) graduates
who have purchased homes. By helping 3,453 individuals become
homeowners since its inception, Neighborhood Development
Foundation has continued to establish and maintain thriving
neighborhoods throughout Southeast Louisiana for thirty-two years.
Through the organization’s Financial Fitness courses completed by
1,189 people, and First-time Homebuyer Training completed by
8,551 people, Neighborhood Development Foundation teaches
participants how to make more informed decisions with their money
for themselves and their families.
