The 2014 Fellowship in Chattanooga
Code for America Chattanooga is working with City Hall to open government data and foster an ecosystem of civic application development. The team helped launch the city’s open data site, shepherded an open data policy, deployed a local wiki, and organized a Civic User Testing Group, in partnership with the Benwood Foundation.
Additionally, the Fellows are working on Best Nest, a platform that helps renters make informed housing choices. It brings together disparate data: code violations, evictions, energy, transit, and parcel data to empower renters in their search for safe, affordable housing. Check out the Fellows' mid-year update to learn more.
