Asset Mapping in Androscoggin County: A Case Study

The Place Matters Project seeks to understand the impact that living environments have on the transition from childhood to adulthood, focusing particularly on those with criminal records or other obstacles. The project, based at the University of Southern Maine, aims to redesign Maine's system through innovation, data, and community involvement, with support from various foundations. The report series includes analysis of community assets, social determinants, and case studies in Androscoggin County, who, emblematic of broader Maine issues, has a young population, diverse demographics, and challenges like school disconnection.
