Connecticut Evictions: Diving Deeper
Last month, we published our report on Connecticut’s eviction crisis. In this blog post, we dive deeper into the data and explore towns with the highest number of eviction filings in recent months, from January 2021 through February 2022. As mentioned in our larger report, not all eviction cases result in the renter moving, but the filing of an
eviction case can have permanent consequences regardless of the outcome of the case. Often, the existence of an eviction case record alone leads to a renter’s applications being denied, without any consideration given to the outcome of the court case, let alone the facts and circumstances surrounding it.

Tuesday, May 17th | 11:30am - 1:00pm
Do you ever feel like you’re just struggling to figure out how to actually make the changes so your data practice can be more equitable?

experienced challenges, and have lessons to share.
This month, you’ll hear from sever members of our community about the things they’re working on in their respective institutions, lessons they’ve learned, and questions they still struggle with. You’ll be able to learn with them and also share your own wisdom. Please join us.

Basics of Data Literacy
Thursday, May 19th | 10:00am - 12:00pm
Data is all around us. We hear about it in news stories, read about it in the paper, and try to learn from it to improve our work. Yet, with this data all around you, you still may feel overwhelmed when it is presented, and may not know how to increase your comfort using data.
During the Basics of Data Literacy, you will learn how to evaluate whether the data you use or generate is of high-quality, how to evaluate the quality of data other people create, and how to understand more of the data that is being presented to you. You will be able to take when you leave the workshop to
improve your own data work. You will leave this workshop:
