7places on the map

Nobody has recorded how they work together yet. If you know who talks to who here, you know something the map doesn't.

How connected is your neighborhood — whether help, trust, and referrals can actually travel from one place to another.

What's near me — and who can help with what I need?

What this means for you

Gapcomputed

Nothing mapped yet for food

Nobody has put an answer to "Where can I get groceries or a hot meal?" on the East End map yet. There's almost always somebody doing this quietly — if you know who, add them.

Gapcomputed

Nothing mapped yet for jobs & training

Nobody has put an answer to "Who can help me get trained and hired?" on the East End map yet. There's almost always somebody doing this quietly — if you know who, add them.

Opportunitycomputed

7 assets are one introduction from the network

Nobody has recorded who DIEZ STREET PARK, SPURLOCK PARK, CULLINAN (M.C.) PARK (PB 2) and 4 more work with yet. One introduction — or one neighbor who already knows — puts them on the map properly.

Gapcomputed

Introduce SISTERS OF CHARITY OF THE INCARNATE WORD and DIEZ STREET PARK

No ties connect institution and physical & spatial assets anywhere in East End. These two are the best-connected candidates on each side — one working relationship here opens a whole class of referrals.

Opportunitycomputed

Rich in buildings & places capital, thin in jobs & money

7 assets carry built capital (infrastructure, housing, and physical places), while only 2 carry financial capital. Dollars aimed at the thin capital convert the abundant one into outcomes.

Participatory layer

This map grows when neighbors add to it

The barbershop roundtable, the walking club, the lot that should be a garden — the assets institutions miss are the ones residents know best. This map is co-produced: 7 neighbor-visible assets are on it already, and every contribution makes East End more visible to itself.
