HDC FAQs

HDC wants to use data to answer big questions about how to improve the lives of Hartford area residents. Traditionally, information about residents—where they live, their enrollment in childcare centers, school, or workforce training programs, and what happens to them after they graduate or leave these programs—is collected by different agencies and stored in different data systems.
Administrative data, the data agencies routinely collect about their operations, including client or participant demographics, program participation, and services provided.
HDC provides clear rules for the storage and use of data to protect the safety and privacy of the individuals served. HDC has a 3-tiered governance structure, a rigorous review process, and a legal framework to ensure all data sharing efforts protect individuals’ privacy and confidentiality while benefiting the Hartford Community.
