| Goal |
To provide technical assistance and ongoing evaluation using multiple methods to measure CCBI’s progress toward short-term outcomes: village council formation and operation appraisal, analysis and acknowledgement of community assets, agenda formation, action project implementation, and collaborative relationships; and to collect baseline data on longer-term objectives: economic opportunities, safety/security, family/youth development, services, & neighborhood pride.
|
| Program/Policy Description |
The Cleveland Community Building Initiative (CCBI) is a comprehensive, neighborhood-based enterprise designed to reduce poverty by building on neighborhood assets and involving a group of diverse group of residents, civic, and business leaders as partners in the community revitalization process. The community building approach promotes positive change by working comprehensively to improve the physical, social, and economic conditions affecting residents’ quality of life.
