Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
The Neighborhood Revitalization Center will: -Establish a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization center to serve as the hub of the wheel for the 33311 revitalization efforts. -Establish a functioning community council, coalition of33311 organizations, and coalition of homeowner associations. -Build capacity and mobilize residents to exercise more responsibility and to act as better advocates for the well-being of their neighborhoods. -Empower 33311 residents to mobilize the resources in their neighborhoods to promote the process of development for children and the community as a whole. -Positively change the socialization process for children resulting in increased academic achievement levels and demonstration of positive behaviors. -Assist residents in revitalizing their neighborhoods, leading to infrastructure improvements, increased homeownership rates, and increased public and private investments in 33311. A bright future from Central County 33311 is an attainable goal. In reality, Broward County is an area of unprecedented growth and stark contrasts. The proposed Center for Neighborhood Revitalization is part of a comprehensive campaign to mobilize and empower residents to bring an end to years of neglect and disparity in their neighborhoods. The new reality includes successful schools; involved parents; safe and stable neighborhoods; relocation of business and industry back into 33311; programs that extend the school day and instill character, integrity, self-reliance, personal responsibility and leadership; affordable housing opportunities for young families, employment and economic opportunities for all residents; and thriving businesses. |
