CURA Request for Proposals Graphic

The Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) at the University of Minnesota is looking for a skilled full-stack developer with a background in data science to create a web application that empowers communities, researchers, and advocates.

This tool will make it easier to understand rental property ownership, eviction patterns, and housing code violations in Minneapolis. By combining interactive maps and visualizations of ownership networks, it will shine a light on the connections between property owners and provide actionable insights to support housing equity and transparency.

What you’ll build:

  • Custom Query Interfaces: Help users explore data on housing ownership, evictions, and code violations.
  • Ownership Network Mapping: Create interactive visual tools that reveal geographic trends and ownership networks, uncovering connections between property owners.
  • Exportable Insights: Enable researchers to share findings with accessible export features.

Join us in creating a resource that will drive meaningful change for communities across our city. Application open until 2/1/2025.
