In February, CCC launched a new version of Keeping Track Online that includes an asset mapping function. The list to the right is just a start – we will continue to add new assets as they are identified and as data becomes available.

Banks and Food Retail in and around the neighborhood of Brownsville

Asset mapping allows us to explore the presence – or absence – of fundamental resources at the neighborhood level.

Today’s workgroups

Morning Session Exploring local data: Environmental factors, community resources and assets that shape family well being.

• Examine risk factors that are barriers to well being in the five boroughs

at the community district level

• Explore the availability of assets or resources that may or may not be

present to address needs and reduce barriers to well being Afternoon Session Supporting family well being: Using science to inform practice and policy.

• Inform improvements in practice to relieve or reduce key stressors
• Advance programming that supports the development of core

capabilities

• Create service delivery environments that help people take advantage
• f available services
