More about this project

DataMade worked with Community Investment Corporation (CIC), a nonprofit organization that provides financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental housing in Chicago neighborhoods and suburban communities. In addition to financing, they also offer customer service and complementary programs and trainings to help their borrowers grow and strengthen their businesses.

Together, we developed an easy way for them to visualize the affordable rental housing loans and grants they issue. This manifested in an internal map which is populated with real time, interactive data. It also provides a more granular view of the communities, projects, and properties associated with the loans they make.


A simple set of filters displays summaries of CIC's lending for the 2024 fiscal year.
