June 28, 2021How to Use Capital Region Indicators for the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA)
The Regional Economic Development Councils recently announced that the eleventh round of the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) is now accepting applications through July 30th. The CFA allows municipalities and other applicants seeking funding for projects to streamline their applications and be eligible for NYS funding from a plethora of programs all at once. To make applications more compelling, having data to support your application’s narrative is crucial.
The Capital Region Indicators dashboard uses Decennial and ACS census data to show the current conditions of municipalities around the region as well as allows you to compare the change over time for various data sets. The dashboard provides data on six different topics: Economy, Social Welfare, Health, Education, Housing, Transportation, as well as providing an overview and links to other resources. This data, provided in charts and maps, can be easily linked or shared in your applications to help illustrate important points.
