Neighborhood Data for Social Change (NDSC) would like to thank the following people, whose leadership, advice, and support are invaluable:
- Christopher G. Boone, Dean, USC, Price School of Public Policy
- Richard K. Green, Director, Lusk Center for Real Estate
- Our longtime partners on the NDSC Steering Committee
We are grateful to the NYU Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy for providing inspiration for this report. In particular, we celebrate Caroline Bhalla, whose vision and leadership helped bring SOLACHAN to life. After playing a pivotal role in building the State of New York City’s Housing & Neighborhoods report, she carried that inspiration across the country and spent more than a decade laying the foundation for this work—shaping not only this report, but the community of people and ideas behind it. And to our beloved colleague Elly Schoen, whose dedication to last year’s edition laid the foundation for anything SOLACHAN may ever become. The foundation built for last year’s inaugural report makes every successive year so much easier to produce.
