Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative

2010

The Obama Administration Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative followed in the footsteps of the HOPE VI program by focusing federal support to high-poverty neighborhoods. President Obama affirmed this message by declaring: “change comes not from the top down, but from the bottom up.” Support of these communities will be interdisciplinary, place-based, data-driven, and results-driven by building neighborhood capacity and providing technical assistance to local partners.
