Data resources
Data can help identify specific resource gaps in communities and narrow down geographical areas for the grant solicitation. Publishing this data as part of the grant solicitation can help support the project and provide transparency.

• Community demographics and functional characteristics at the census-track (subcounty) level.

• Locations, service areas and phone numbers of community providers and health care facilities.
Data Viewer – Health Equity and Environmental Justice Data
