Automating and visualizing FHLBSF community impact for policy makers

The mission of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBSF aka the Bank) system is to support and stabilize home ownership across the United States through access to funds by financial institution’s involved in mortgage lending. In the service of that mission the Bank’s Legislative Affairs group engages with state and national policy makers about the impact the bank makes on local communities. This project will work with the Bank’s Data Science team to support these efforts in the following ways:

1. Prepare vivid and informative GIS visualizations that showcase the Bank’s impact via its members lending activities. (Show maps where the bank makes a difference in terms of mortgage lending)
2. Identify key constituent demographics and bank coverage (Figure out where voters reside and local demographics)
3. Automate slide deck and interactive dashboards (create slides on the fly, programmatically and help develop interactive web apps)

Stretch goals include lead prioritization of different districts and regions where the bank makes the most impact and collecting information about each legislator from public sources.
