Project HANDS
Block Mapping Activity

Volunteers of Project HANDS will collect specific data to investigate the amount of residences in selected neighborhoods which have become rentals since January 1, 1990.

This will be accomplished by introducing yourself to your neighbors, and asking for their help in data collection. This is a unique opportunity to meet the people sharing your block! Please be polite, and explain who you are. You may meet some wonderful people living around you, as many of us have. However, please be safe...do your data collection in the daylight; have another person with you; do not go into any residences; let someone else know what you are doing and when you are expected to return.

You may explain that the members of Project HANDS are investigating neighborhood density issues, rental pricing, and ways to keep our neighborhoods safe for all persons to live in. If they have questions, please give them our website address at http://homepage.macomb.com/~mcmeekan/hands/

or Heather's number, 836-8701, or email- mcmeekan@macomb.com

Step 1- Download and print this document. Fill in as much information as possible BEFORE you approach the residence.

Step 2- During the daylight, and with a partner (for safety), map your block by filling in as MUCH of the following information as possible (some can be obtained from the zoning office):

a) address of residence  
b) zoning ordinance for that residence  
c) whether or not residence is a rental property -if property is a rental property

1) whether or not rental is owner occupied (O/O)
2) price of rent per month per person
3) year converted from non-rental property to rental
4) whether the rental unit contains students or a *family

*Note- *for purposes of this data collection, a family includes any group of people related by blood, marriage, adoption, or with minor children, elderly persons, or no more than 2 unrelated others living at the residence.

d) if multi-residence, amount of units 1) if multi-unit, number of people living in each unit
e) estimated number of off street parking spaces (Note- A parking space should be on gravel, asphalt, or concrete; and be equal in size to a parking space in a parking lot or on a city street)
