Featured Project: The Green Haven:

A site where individual actions are mobilized for a global end!
Let this site help you. By registering for an account, it will help you track your monthly electricity usage and allow you to record things you do to save electricity, things like installing energy-efficient light bulbs, hang-drying your laundry, or unplugging appliances after use.

The Contest
In the spirit of friendly competition, the site benchmarks the performance of your apartment building or home against the performance of others, and it displays this on the Green Haven map!

YOUTH MAP will be an information management system to assess all of the youth-related programs in the City of New Haven. It will constitute a powerful tool for agencies that serve the youth, and for the end users of such programs. By organizing systematically the information related with the activities and services that these users can take advantage of, YOUTH MAP will allow the agencies involved to follow the dynamics that surround these different initiatives. Through a geographical assessment and analysis of the service providers and of the community being served, YOUTH MAP will provide the City of New Haven, as well as the local stakeholders involved, with a better understanding of the spatial characteristics of the opportunities that currently exist.
