Communities Speak is a grant-funded project that is a collaboration among the Urban and Social Policy Program at the School of International and Public Affairs and the Department of Biomedical Informatics, CUIMC at Columbia University with a city-wide network of community organizations and not-for-profit partners. The project aims to expand community data collection in cities, in order to increase government’s capacity to develop policy in response to unanticipated economic and social shocks. Our goal is to provide city government with the tools to improve responsiveness to the needs of low-income and minority populations as well as small businesses, who tend to experience the greatest adverse impacts from these shocks.

    In order to ensure the successful implementation of the Communities Speak platform we will be working directly with 3 diverse cities from the Bloomberg Philanthropies network and continue our work in NYC. Our choice of cities will be closely aligned with the purpose of the platform. The survey is designed so that cities can assess the specific needs of vulnerable communities in order to design policies and target resources effectively. 

    The Staff Associate I will work as part of a team in NYC to collect microdata through regular, repeated surveys of individuals, small businesses, and vulnerable groups so that changing conditions can be tracked and policy is informed by the data. The Staff Associate I will also work with the team developing partnerships with various community-based organizations, engaging those partners through digital and in-person events, and ensuring partners have all materials needed in order to participate. The Staff Associate I will work with the team creating training and instructional materials that will be used by a cohort of cities who will adopt Communities Speak; possibly travel to conduct trainings with key staff; and codify all relevant practices, procedures, and lessons learned related to the project.
