NNIP local partners maintain information systems with recurrently updated data on various neighborhood conditions in their cities for community planning and action. Each year the partners report on their data holdings, including the sources, dates, and geography of their files. The network uses this information for internal planning and to understand the national patterns in data availability. In addition, organizations negotiating with their local government agencies for particular data sources have strengthened their argument by showing that a number of organizations in other cities have access to the files.
