  • Physical – Promote home improvement while completing public works projects.
  • Social – Educate, equip and empower residents to collectively improve their neighborhood.
  • Community– Bring everyone to the table – the City, residents, non-profits, churches, businesses, schools, etc. to pool resources and leverage skills, assets and man-power to achieve neighborhood success.
