Tanner Block Case Study

In 1996, the Providence-based nonprofit organization Stop Wasting Abandoned Properties (SWAP) undertook a renovation project on 9 abandoned houses in South Providence. Called the "Tanner Block Project," these houses were converted into low-interest home ownerships and rentals.

This page displays the GIS maps of crime before and after renovation in the Tanner Block, as well as the contextual maps of crime throughout South Providence
