Claudia Coulton Named 2012 Distinguished University Professor
It was supposed to be a meeting that began at 11 a.m., and one that Claudia Coulton would probably have to miss.
So when word got out that the Lillian F. Harris Professor of Urban Social Research at MSASS might be a no-show, someone needed to somehow convince her to go up to the third floor of the Mandel School – pronto.
When she arrived to see her MSASS peers and faculty all seated in a third-floor classroom, she had no idea what would happen next: Coulton was being named a 2012 Distinguished University Professor by Case Western Reserve University President Barbara Snyder.
"I would have never expected this could happen," Coulton said. "I'm grateful for everyone at MSASS, and the university for making this selection. My work would not have been possible without all of the support I have received from MSASS and from CWRU over the years."

Property Values Fall Across Ohio
According to a Saturday, September 24 article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, 2011 marks the first year in which all 41 counties in Ohio that are reappraising or updating property values saw decline.

The economy is still bad and people are still worried about their jobs and people are having difficulty getting loans to buy homes. We still have a stalled housing market."

NEO CANDO: "South Euclid offers warning about home foreclosure issues"
"South Euclid offers warning about home foreclosure issues" By Jeff Piorkowski
A South Euclid Sun Messenger Article speaks with South Euclid Housing Manager Sally Martin, and cites the City's use of the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development's NEO CANDO social, economic and neighborhood data to alert home-owners with a high potential of foreclosure as an early warning system so that they may act to avoid foreclosure.
The article states, "Last fall, the city sent letters to 750 homeowners with adjustable rate mortgages and who could be in danger of foreclosure this year.
The letters, which urged that homeowners take the proper steps to save their homes, were sent after the city received information on housing projections from NEO CANDO —the Northeast Ohio Community and Neighborhood Data for Organizing, a research institute housed at Case Western Reserve University. That information told of homeowners in possible danger of foreclosure."
In the article, Martin suggests that homeowners contact ESOP(Empowering and Strengthening Ohio’s People) for counseling and help.
The Center recommends contacting United Way of Greater Cleveland's First Call for Help at phone number 211, for HUD licensed counselors- who will work with a homeowner to assess the specific situation and who may also refer a caller to ESOP while helping to create a plan of action.

Checking Greater Cleveland’s Pulse
The Cleveland Foundation and the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development recently began working together to show how the economic crisis is affecting Cuyahoga County. The result is an online display of data called “The Pulse.”
"The Pulse" succinctly uses four indicators to give its viewers a picture of the needs of Cuyahoga County residents:
• the number of people with food stamps benefits,
• the number of children with Medicaid benefits,
• mortgage foreclosures, (all from the Center's NEO CANDO system),
• and unemployment data from the Ohio Labor Market Information System.
These figures are updated on a monthly basis.
“The Pulse” was created in conjunction with the Cleveland Foundation's new Basic Needs Fund, which will help sustain local nonprofits that provide essentials like food, clothing, and shelter.
You can find “The Pulse” online at http://clevelandfoundation.org/grantmaking/Pulse.html.
