On Wednesday, August 8th at 4 pm EDT the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) will host a one and a half hour webinar demonstrating a new Data-Driven Decision Making tool for the Consolidated Plan that can be used with the eCon Planning Suite data.

During this presentation, participants will:

• View a demonstration of the new Data-Driven Decision-Making Toolkit for the Consolidated Plan.
• Understand how to move through data analysis steps to create place-based strategies for HUD resources.
• Learn how the Consolidated Plan template in IDIS can help to frame data analysis, and how CPD Maps can aid in identifying community needs and determining where those needs are most prevalent.
• Find out what’s coming in an accompanying toolkit, which will be available in late August.
