Is your project a renovation of an existing building, or infilling a vacant site or the reuse of a brownfield?*

The ability to reuse something that already exists, whether it is a building or land, is a fundamental element of sustainability. This not only reduces our environmental footprint, it also allows for the revitalization of a building or site.

It’s a renovation

It’s an infill project

It’s a brownfield

None of the above

Other

Will your project activate the street?*

Activating the street encourages pedestrian-friendly development and a sense of safety and livability in a community. Creating connections between the inside and outside of buildings – think front porches on homes, or sidewalk cafes for local businesses –accomplish this.

My project has porches or balconies that face the street

My project has public gathering spaces along the street, like a sidewalk cafe

My project’s storefront has 60% transparency

None of the above

Other

Are you minimizing the parking footprint for your project?*

By reducing a project’s parking footprint to less than 20% of the total developable land, environmental harm associated with parking facilities – land consumption and rainwater runoff – is minimized.

Parking will occupy between 20% and 50% of our site

Parking will occupy more than 50% of our site

Yes

Is your project in a city or on a main street?*

Yes

Other

How close is the nearest business district?*

Local businesses keep money circulating within a community and reduce the distance that people need to travel to obtain goods and services. An attendant effect of a high concentration of neighborhood businesses means that alternate methods of transportation such as walking, biking and public transit are more likely to be utilized.

Very close (less than 1 mile)

Pretty close (1 – 1.5 miles)

A little far (more than 1.5 miles)

Is your project serving an underserved population?*

Underserved communities have higher poverty rates, higher unemployment rates, lower property values, and a higher number of city-owned or abandoned buildings or vacant lots. Choosing to develop these areas is the first step in achieving economic growth for the immediate area and for the city at large, revitalizing fallow land for future growth.

The neighborhood is poor with less than average median income

The neighborhood is racially segregated

There is a lot of vacancy in the neighborhood

Our target audience is an under-served population

Our project does not serve an under-served population

Other

What is your project's walk score?*

Go to WalkScore.com and input your project’s address. The Walkscore is a composite number that indicates the pedestrian friendliness of the project and its proximity to important amenities. The higher the Walkscore, the less someone needs to rely on a car, therefore reducing personal costs and environmental impact. A score of 70 and over is considered “very walkable.”

Walker’s paradise (70 – 100)

Somewhat walkable (50 – 69)

Not walkable (less than 50)

No walk score available

What is your project's bike score?*

Your project might also have Bike Score on Walkscore.com. The Bikescore is a composite number that indicates the ease of using a bicycle as a mode of transportation to and from the project. Bikescore takes into account both the friendliness of the surrounding topography and the biking culture of the area. The higher the score, the more bike friendly the area will be. A score of 70 and over is considered “very bikeable.”

Biker’s paradise (70 – 100)

Somewhat bikeable (50 – 69)

Not bikeable (less than 50)

No bike score available

What is your project's transit score?*

Transit is a critical component of a healthy city. Better transit means less congestion, increased mobility and unlocked economic potential. The Transit Score indicates public transportation options close to the project. The higher the score, the better the options and frequency of public transit nearby.

Rider’s paradise (70 – 100)

Good transit (50 – 69)

Not so great (less than 50)

No transit score available

How close it the nearest park or public open space?*

Green space nearby allows for recreation outside the immediate project site – more space to be outdoors, improving mental and physical health and strengthening community ties.

Very close (less than 1 mile)

Pretty close (1 – 1.5 miles)

A little far (more than 1.5 miles)

Is there fresh food nearby?*

Fresh food means more than being healthful. It means supporting the local economy and minimizing the transportation costs – and environmental effects – associated with shipping out of season foodstuffs to local areas

Very close (less than 1 mile)

Pretty close (1 – 2 miles)

A little far (more than 2 miles)

My project will include a fresh food market

We created Small Change to allow everyday people to invest in community-building real estate projects, and we created our proprietary Small Change Index to track that change.

This form will provide us with the information we need to determine if you meet our criteria and whether or not your project meets our criteria.

Some of our questions may not be a perfect fit for your project. Answer as best you can.
