Strategies

Provide funding via tax credits at the state and local level to support development and rehabilitation costs of low income rental housing

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees

Support the efforts of neighborhood residents to work together in preventing crime by reporting suspicious or potentially criminal behavior to local law enforcement

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts
