Centralizing Massachusetts Foreclosure Data by Developing a User-Friendly Database
PúblicoThis work addresses the legal and social dimensions of predatory lending and illegal foreclosure in Massachusetts. In collaboration with The Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending (MAAPL), we constructed a data system capable of centralizing state-wide foreclosure data. We requested data from all registries of deeds across Massachusetts and constructed a database to hold the data. We also created a user-friendly interface so that MAAPL volunteers, legal analysts, and others will be able to interact with the database. This report details the completed design, implementation, and documentation of the data system as well as suggestions for future work on the system. Our recommendations range from technical work on the database to analysis of legal stakeholder needs for court cases.
