This program is designed to help groups of residents and neighborhood organizations improve their neighborhood environments as well as develop and nurture relationships among neighbors. Proposals from all neighborhoods will be considered; however, priority will be given to applications impacting moderate to low-income neighborhoods.
An orientation workshop will be held on March 16 to learn about the program and how the proposals are evaluated. Groups planning to submit an application are strongly encouraged to attend. On March 28 there will be a follow up application writing workshop. Staff will be available to answer questions and provide feedback on the drafts.
