About Neighborhoods First

Neighborhoods First is San Diego LISC’s comprehensive community development initiative piloted in two San Diego neighborhoods in 2008.  The Neighborhoods First Initiative is built on the premise that healthy communities are the result of a comprehensive and coordinated program for neighborhood revitalization - not only housing, but also safe streets, ample recreation areas, reliable public transportation, diverse youth programs, quality schools, accessible health care, and employment opportunities.  It is also built on the fundamental understanding that an engaged and empowered community generates the wherewithal, resilience, and will to implement such a program.   

Neighborhoods First uses an innovative planning process – quality of life planning - as a central tool for improving San Diego neighborhoods.
