Quality of Life Neighborhoods

Quality of life neigborhoods are places where families of all income levels can find safe and affordable housing, children attend good schools, healthy food is readily available, and residents have access to health care, childcare, financial counseling, and other services.

Working together in partnership with Hillside and Lincoln Park neighborhood residents, businesses, and other community partners, we will create neighborhoods of choice and opportunity where the people who live there prosper through our Quality of Life Neighborhoods Collective. Using a cross sector, collective impact approach, we will work to reduce poverty, improve the quality of life, and address the 11 year life expectancy disparity that currently exists. We focus cross sector, comprehensive community development in the Hillside and Lincoln Park neighborhoods to create neighborhoods of choice and opportunity where all can prosper.
