Data needs to be collected in order to understand whether the program is being successful. The program coordinator is held accountability for assuring the data is available. The following data should be collected: amount of blight existing, crime occurring, and surveys/questionnaires. Project Blight Lift’s expectations are to decrease the amount of blight existing which will be measured by bi-monthly inspections for three years. Another expectation of this program is that with blight reducing, so will crime. The occurrence of crime will be measured by using police records. Lastly, the surveys and/or questionnaires, which will be sent out every six months, will measure the community’s response to the program.
