Community Safety InitiativeNo neighborhood plagued by crime and disorder problems will be attractive to residents or merchants. Indeed, addressing those issues is as critical to successful community development as making sure people have affordable housing, good schools, recreational areas, jobs and health care. LISC's Community Safety Initiative (CSI) helps to establish partnerships among law enforcement, residents, business owners and members of other neighborhood institutions. Since 1994, CSI has helped establish police/community partnerships in over a dozen cities nationwide. LISC's Community Safety Initiative builds long-term partnerships with key parties in troubled communities to reduce persistent crime, disorder and fear. In neighborhoods as diverse as Brooklyn's East New York, Seattle's Chinatown-International district, and Kansas City's east side, CSI has been the catalyst for physical improvements and strategies that have reduced crime, increased public confidence, and attracted new businesses. |
