NNIP Partner Application: University of Missouri-Kansas City and Mid-America Planning Council

This is the application of the University of Missouri‐Kansas City and the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) to join NNIP. While CEI began in 1994 as an organization committed to supporting the broad social utilization of developing information technology, that mission has, in practice, evolved into one for which NNIP stated partnership criteria provide a nearly perfect summary statement. CEI has been explicitly committed to providing updated information on neighborhood conditions since its first application of the Neighborhood Housing Conditions Survey (NHCS) which got underway in year 2000.

MARC is a nonprofit association of city and county governments and the metropolitan planning organization for the bistate Kansas City region. MARC providee a forum for the region to work together to advance social, economic and environmental progress through leadership, planning, and action.
