In January 2016, the City of New Haven launched a new City Transformation Plan, which was created with extensive input from city residents, DataHaven, and other citywide partners. The site included an interactive data dashboard built in partnership with DataHaven, based in large part on the Greater New Haven Community Index and the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey, both of which are updated on a regular basis.
The Transformation Plan is a City of New Haven strategy to increase opportunity, improve educational outcomes, and create safe, healthy neighborhoods. The City appied for designation of a portion of the City as a federal Promise Zone as one implementation activity.
