Housing Open Data Challenge

*Applications are now open for our Housing Open Data Challenge*

*"How can we use open data to help people get the best out of renting?"*

The Housing Open Data Challenge, run by Nesta and the Open Data Institute,
invites teams to use open data to build products and services to help
people get the best out of renting (including to provide greater housing
options for those renting). This includes both:

   - Those who are renting in the private rented sector
   - Those who are renting from social landlords.

The winner of the Challenge will be in line for £40,000 equity-free funding
to further develop their product.

Please use this group to register your interest by creating a profile and
submitting your ideas. For further information, including dates for events,
please see the full details on our website: *http://bit.ly/1isUt1z*
