Interactive Story Maps - Land Use, Transportation, and Housing

Systemic challenges and concrete policies prevent investment in quality, healthy, resource-rich affordable housing. In order to overcome these challenges, there is a great need for data-driven and informed advocacy on local, regional, state, and federal levels that results in strategic and sustainable development of communities. This data can support the work of planners, developers, and other decision-makers in creating holistic and catalytic projects that are competitive for these limited resources.

High Levels of Chronic Absence in California Schools

In California, One Out of Ten Schools Have High Levels of Chronic Absence

A new analysis of state data shows that while chronic absence affects nearly all schools in California, it is also heavily concentrated. Nearly one out of ten traditional public schools in California, or 822 schools, had high levels of chronic absence that affect 20 percent or more of their students. At such high levels, all students in the classroom are potentially affected when teachers have to deal with the churn of sporadic attendance.
