Neighborhoods as the Unit of Change
The place where a child grows up influences not only their daily lives but also their health and wellbeing as an adult.
Building a Place-Based Initiative
Building on established community strengths, we will develop programs to improve family outcomes
The City of Boston is partnering with the Boston Opportunity Agenda and Health Resources in Action. Together, we are developing a pilot place-based initiative in Mattapan by working closely with civic and community leaders to improve family outcomes.
A place-based initiative is a program rooted in community. It builds on the strengths of a neighborhood and community members and is designed to
- improve neighborhood conditions
- open access to opportunity rich communities
- unite growth and development strategies
To learn more or participate in the community process, email mattapan@hria.org
Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
