BETTER HEALTH & GREATER WEALTH

The Neighborhood team has been working with Near North Side (NNS) residents since the launch of the Critical Communities Improvement Plan. This plan builds on the capacity and insights provided by residents. The goal of this plan is to create a series of neighborhood improvements designed to promote individual and community wealth.

Residents indicated they wanted safer spaces to play, fellowship and relax; cleaner and better streets; opportunities for meaningful careers that can sufficiently support families; good development of vacant land and buildings; and greater unity and collaboration between neighbors.
