NYC Response Lab Details
The Response Lab is a joint initiative of CIV:LAB and the NYCEDC to identify community-level COVID-19 related problems and deploy internally-created tech solutions to address them and help New York City people/communities, businesses, and agencies recover from the COVID-19 crisis. We will improve access (to health, mobility, and other resources) and support underserved communities in New York using simple and unconventional tools. The Response Lab is uniquely positioned in the urban innovation ecosystem of New York City, where it has the ability to act as both a convener and a creator of solutions. Built on the foundations of the Grid, CIV:LAB and NYCEDC's urban tech collaborative of 130 organizations that work in urban innovation across sectors and stakeholder-types, it is able to connect actors with complementary resources and missions with community-based partners working on COVID-19 response projects. Its approach centers on identifying pressing problems at the community level, through relationships with community-based organizations and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), then forming project teams with relevant partners. It has the in-house capacity to create the tech-based platforms and tools that these projects envision, as well as the ability to conceptualize and facilitate the projects' community engagement strategies.
