NIDC:
Healthy Neighborhood Initiative

Working with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, NIDC is promoting the Healthy Neighborhood initiative. The approach focuses on a neighborhood’s positive attributes and works to engage neighbors and homeowners to invest in their neighborhoods and position them as good places to live.

The City of Milwaukee provided funds in 2008 to promote healthy neighborhoods. There are currently seven Healthy Neighborhoods:

·	Thurston Woods*
·	Sherman Park*
·	Enderis Park
·	Martin Drive
·	Layton Boulevard West Neighbors
·	Johnson's Park
·	Havenwoods
	* Thurston Woods and Sherman Park are also TIN neighborhoods.

Each Healthy Neighborhood designs their own program to promote their neighborhood, engaging residents around positive actions such as involving neighbors, promoting the neighborhood as a good place to live, improving neighborhood appearance and encouraging homeowners to buy in the neighborhood.

Besides the designated Healthy Neighborhoods, funding for small block improvement projects is available to other select neighborhoods in the City that are not located in the Community Development Block Grant area. Contact David Weber of NIDC at 286-5626 if your neighborhood is interested in participating.
