USDA, HUD… • Proprietary- home sale, school performance and
transit data • Secure – data loaded by users (generally
organizational or local data) • Available for the nation at smallest geography
possible, preferably block group or census tract or address.
PolicyMap
• We built PolicyMap first as a tool to help TRF and
its own clients better understand their own markets.
• We opened it up to the public and created a self-sustaining business model for the online tool that allows users to access part of what is available for free and additional data/tools with a subscription.

Who Uses PolicyMap?
• Financial institutions (CDFIs and Banks) • Federal agencies such as the Federal Reserve, HUD and
the EDA • State Housing Finance Agencies • Local governments – particularly housing agencies • Community development organizations (and the
foundations that support them) • Real estate industry • Universities/students • Consultants

Why do they use PolicyMap?
• Visualize where they have made investments or loans or grants; understand what those markets look like and how they are changing.
• Strategically think about where they need to make investments in the future based on market conditions, need or government program requirements.
• Obtain data for reporting or grant application requirements.
• General neighborhood research.

Why Relevant for Today’s Discussion?
• PolicyMap could be an additional data resource for showing other potential partners/resources in a geographic area: Government designations like CRA or NMTC eligibility
could mean partnerships with financial institutions; Government designations like CDBG eligible tracts or
high NSP3 scores could mean available local government dollars for housing;
Health resources such as retail based health clinics; Neighborhood anchors such as schools, libraries, non-
profit organizations.
