CACEN: Bridging Gaps Infographic

In 2025, the Colorado Equity Compass launched a Data Use Learning Collaborative, providing a paid opportunity for community-based organizations to gain practical skills using data to promote equity. Organizations worked with the Equity Data Navigator and data about the social determinants of health data to learn about the needs of the communities they serve.

This story product comes from CEC Data Use Learning Collaborative awardee Colorado Asian Cultural and Education Network (CACEN). CACEN analyzed income, housing, and transportation issues for the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations in Colorado. To bring vulnerable AANHPI communities to their community center in Centennial (known as The Social Fabric Hub), CACEN proposed a free shuttle route that connects under resourced neighborhoods to their center.
