	Community Service Fellowships Summer 2006 Eileen Starrett '07 and Tamar Nobel '08 received Community-Based Fellowships for Summer 2006. Eileen worked with Oneida County Communities That Care and member agencies to lay groundwork for the beginning of a community-based research project with the Waterville and Utica area communities. Eileen attended meetings with community development groups and created a database for organizations to use for communicating to large groups of members. In addition, she used her data skills and GIS mapping skills learned in the Spring 2006 Seminar in Program Evaluation to provide data about the Cornhill neighborhood for planning purposes. Tamar worked with the Utica Municipal Housing Authority on the HOPE VI Project in Utica and produced two reports to aid in the evaluation of progress made. The first was a property value assessment of every building or house that has been built or renovated as a part of the HOPE VI Project. Tamar collected information from the Utica Board of Realtors and the City of Utica Assessor, comparing property values and average sale prices of homes over time. Her second report provided the results of a telephone survey of new residents who moved into housing constructed through the HOPE VI Project, both rentals and owner-occupied housing. Tamar concluded that overall 62% of the residents were Black and 13% were White, contrasting with a 79% White population for the city overall. The overwhelming majority of households in rental housing were female-headed, but owner-occupied homes were 80% male-headed households. The average annual household income for new rental housing was under $14,000, and the mean income for homes owned was nearly twice as high, $26,154.
