TRACKING INVESTMENT FLOWS TOM KINGSLEY, ANDREW BOWEN, JEFF MATSON OCTOBER 23, 2015 DALLAS NNIP PARTNERS MEETING
IMPORTANCE OF TRACKING INVESTMENT FLOWS • Interest and concern about investment by neighborhood – several partners • Are public funds allocated equitably & efficiently? • What determines the allocation of private investment? • Not much done so far because • Data to do it right – difficult to assemble
FRAMING • Urban Institute paper (Theodos/Kingsley, 12/13) • Capital investment accounts • Housing, Enterprises, Public Spaces and Structures, Infrastructure • Operating expenditures • Public, nonprofit, and private
DATA SOURCES - CHALLENGES • Government budgets and expenditure records • Capital • Operating • Building permits, property sales • Records of individual projects • Business licenses • Business directories • National nonprofit database (NCCS) • Program client data systems
BUT SOME PROJECTS DONE OR IN PLANNING • We will hear about two today • Charlotte (Andrew Bowen) • Twin Cities (Jeff Matson) • And there are others (we will collect more examples and provide access) • Richmond (Galster, Tatian, Accordino) • San Francisco (Karen Chapple) • Theodos – Detroit, Baltimore
PURPOSE TODAY: THINK THROUGH POTENTIAL FOR NNIP • Questions for table talk: • How many partners at your table have done work in this area? What kinds? • How many would like to do so in the future? What kinds of projects? • What are key challenges? How could they be overcome? • Should NNIP follow up? How? • Specifically, what approach to a cross-site project?
