Summary

The Marian Cheek Jackson Center for Saving and Making History is a non-profit organization in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, that aims to advance community self-determination and preserve social and economic diversity in rapidly gentrifying African-American neighborhoods. They have received a grant from CartoDB to utilize its mapping platform to create meaningful conversations and impactful change on a local level. The center's project, the Northside Neighborhood Initiative, seeks to help long-term residents remain in their homes, attract new residents, and increase housing availability for neighborhood properties. With CartoDB, they aim to establish clear baseline data, support community leadership trainings, and enhance advocacy efforts to promote affordability and diversity in the community. The partnership with CartoDB has already provided significant support, enabling the organization to set up a base platform and collect community data, which will be synced with the mapping platform to provide ongoing access to data sets and maps for the community.
