Name: Open Community Survey
The Open Community Survey project creates transparent reports supported by a direct collection of personal perspectives from LA residents to help The LA Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (empowerla.org) and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils (NCs) to understand how constituents are interacting with, and what they need from, their websites.
Current project: NC website survey; Most NCs do not have access or resources to hire technical experts necessary to create a citywide survey so that they can use the data to create inclusive websites targeted towards the needs of their specific communities. Working with EmpowerLA and NCs, Hack for LA is providing the workforce and expertise to design and implement this survey that will give NCs a tool to understand the overall needs of their community -- beyond the people already involved in NCs.

@phoebeng Edit this into a shorter paragraph and add it to the above:
Most NCs do not have access to User Experience Researchers, Business Analysts, or Marketing professionals that would normally aid in the outreach and requirements gathering needed to build a website that best serves the needs of its community.
As a result, even the most experienced NC web developers and sophisticated Board Members do not have all the information they need in order to build sites that are truly inclusive and that will increase engagement based on the specific needs of their local community.
While it would be cost prohibitive for one NC to undertake a comprehensive survey. Collectively, all NCs, with the Help of Hack for LA and EmpowerLA, can design and execute a survey that can be used to inform all NC councils’ future web development priorities.
notes on design are: houses and assisted mobility and other representations (wheelchair, screen reader).
