Housing access for people with a criminal history

[BBarr-PDAP]

Someone has requested help on a data project:

Submission notes

We are working on a project to reduce the impact of tenant screening on housing access for people with criminal histories. As such, we're looking for aggregate data sources for jail booking data, criminal court records, and potentially arrest data. We are considering other potential sources, including court website scraping, working with specific jails, etc. But are hoping to better understand what your data coverage is within certain geographies and what type of individual level data you collect.

Location

Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, and Florida

Requirements

Arrest records, criminal court proceedings, and/or jail bookings

Worked with the original PA court scraper author, and received instructions + an updated endpoint for accessing individual court cases. Will likely work with the requestor.
