DataHaven is a nonprofit organization based in New Haven, Connecticut, founded in 1992, with a mission to improve quality of life by collecting, interpreting, and sharing public data to support effective decision-making. It serves Greater New Haven and the state, collaborating with partners to develop reports, tools, and technical assistance that make information more useful to local communities. The organization participates in the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership, a collaborative effort led by the Urban Institute with about 40 local partners to advance neighborhood information systems in policymaking and community building. As a small to mid-sized actor in the public policy field, DataHaven focuses on increasing data usability at local and statewide levels for policymakers, community organizations, and public-sector stakeholders. A recent development is its March 2024 collaboration with the United Way of Connecticut to release three interactive maps illustrating the distribution of the proposed Child Tax Credit across the state and its potential effects on financial security, racial equity, and economic prosperity.
