Upcoming Webinars:
Understanding Housing in Our Communities using the CT Housing Data Hub
December 12, 2024, 1-1:30 PM ET
Hosts: UConn CLEAR
Speakers: Sarah Hurley, CT GIS Office
This 30-minute webinar introduces a housing mapping and data application that the GIS Office (within CT OPM) has created in partnership with the CT Department of Housing (DOHG) and the CT Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) for use by governments, non-profits, planners, and interested stakeholders.Called the CT Housing Data Hub, this site uses a variety of maps and charts to show the current state of housing, housing programs, rent burden, and permitting across the 169 towns of CT. This resource allows users to understand housing trends over almost 20 years of time and get information about their local municipalities with linked maps, data, and charts. Please join us to learn more about this useful resource.

After introducing the webinar series, the first part of this two-part webinar will be about the role of the CT GIS Office (GISO), how it was formed and functions, what services and guidance it provides, and how it works with partners across the state. Specifically, the CT GIS Office coordinates geospatial data acquisition and creation, provides standards and training, and supports analytic capabilities for GIS users.
The second part of the webinar will be a technical discussion about image services and describe how they are different from map and features services. We will describe how to find and connect to them, what functions are available, and how online and desktop GIS software (ArcGIS Pro and QGIS) handles them. The focus will be on the soon-to-be-released 2023 statewide aerial imagery.
