GOOD NEIGHBOR PROGRAM UPDATE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This report provides
the Mayor and City Council with background and update information on the
Neighborhood Services Department (NSD) Good Neighbor Program.
THE ISSUE
Created in 1995 as
a part of the Garfield Weed and Seed Program, the Good Neighbor Program (GNP)
began as a seeding component to create self help techniques and enable
residents to: connect with their community to foster involvement as well as
pride and respect; improve communication and conflict resolution skills;
identify and access community resources and services; and understand and comply
with the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance.
GNP is a versatile
program and any curriculum/class topic can be discussed and be facilitated by
professional level staff and field experts employed with the City, other
government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations. Each GNP graduation class averages 20
students. Based on neighborhood issues
and community need, GNP has gone “on the road” to neighborhoods throughout Phoenix.
Recent GNP
partners include Valle del Sol, Southwest Church of Christ, and Carl Hayden Community High School. These partners are critical to the success of
the program through financial or in-kind services such as childcare,
translation services, facilities, arts and recreation programming, meals and
refreshments for program participants.
During the last three fiscal years, over 70 GNP classes have been held
with over 2,300 residents attending throughout the city.
OTHER INFORMATION
The GNP is
intended to reach segments of the community that historically have not been
engaged in community problem-solving activities and neighborhood improvement
efforts. The GNP creates an environment
to increase resident participation in inclusive neighborhood improvement
activities which increase awareness of resources within the city of Phoenix. Through participation in these neighborhood
activities, residents learn about themselves, their neighbors and neighborhoods
through a series of educational classes and workshops.
In 2004, NSD staff
focused on developing new relationships with Spanish-speaking families,
involved in a parent-volunteer group at Andalucia Middle School, which later
expanded into the Andalucia Fight Back neighborhood. Program expansion included ESL instruction, Fire
and Police presentations, and developing of a core of active leaders among
these immigrant families.
Spanish-speaking residents also started to attend Fight Back meetings,
Fight Back newsletters were translated into Spanish, and direct contact was
made with 70 Spanish-speaking households within the Fight Back area.
During the last
few years, a series of the GNP have been coordinated by Neighborhood Services
staff in the West Phoenix Revitalization Area (WPRA), including presentations
to parent-teacher groups, neighborhood associations, community center
participants, non-profit organizations, and community fairs and events in the
WPRA. As a result of these efforts, over
800 WPRA resident received information about the GNP and other NSD programs and
services. Recently, the GNP was
implemented in the Sunnyslope and Bethune
neighborhoods (in partnership with Valle del Sol), and in West Phoenix at the Southwest
Church of Christ.
This year, the GNP
will be implemented throughout the city, including the Isaac and south Phoenix
Village Neighborhood Initiative, Canyon Corridor Weed and Seed neighborhood,
and the Westwood Rental Renaissance area.
Good Neighbor Program graduates have many
significant accomplishments, ranging from developing self sustaining grassroots
based neighborhood groups, organizing neighborhood clean ups, researching and
locating potential grant opportunities, serving on City boards and commissions,
to researching, planning, and implementing neighborhood revitalization
projects.
The Program’s most notable results include the new and emerging
neighborhood residents who actively participate in Neighborhood Services
programs and efforts, as well as the development of newly formed alliance
groups whose goals are to collaborate and solve community based problems.
RECOMMENDATION
This report was provided to the Neighborhoods, Housing, Historic
Preservation, Arts and Culture Subcommittee on October 22, 2008 and is being presented to Mayor and Council as an
information item.
