👋🏼 Hello!

We're Team PeopleBudget!

We are interested in building a Participatory and Predictive Budget for the City of Miami.

Thanks for coming here to learn more!

Project Description

PeopleBudge was inspired by Austin Budget Party which was built to help people understand and augment a city budget for Austin. We will be building a web application for Miami that can educate and inform people about their budget.

The requirements given for PeopleBudget have 4 parts:

Participatory

  • Budget Overview A quick presentation of the City Budget, specifically the parts that citizens can influence.
  • Budget Party People get into small teams with neighbors to go through the app and allocate funds to different departments.

Predictive

Read about the history of Budget Party which includes information on the inception of the project and our Mozilla Grant funding.

What's Next

The Budget Party team is currently on pause. Budget season in Austin is over for 2017 but we are working to evaluate how best to move forward with the project to be ready for the 2018 budget season.

Got an idea? Reach out to the team! Community feedback is valuable in helping us evaluate our next steps. How can we make Budget Party more valuable for you?
