PACDC’s activities have culminated in more than $140 million in new resources for affordable housing and neighborhood economic development efforts.
Campaign for Vibrant and Safe Neighborhoods
The Campaign for Vibrant and Safe Neighborhoods is a broad-based citywide coalition of non-partisan community, housing, land use, advocacy, and economic development organizations working to educate public officials about key housing and community development issues facing the city.
The Campaign has developed a three-fold agenda containing recommendations in the following areas:
1) Preserve and Increase Livable Homes: Expand public and private investment in the construction, rehab and repair of homes to create a range of housing options for all residents that promote diverse, healthy and safe neighborhoods.
2) Strengthen Neighborhood Economies: Invest in and improve commercial corridors and small businesses, and promote sustainable development.
3) Cut the Red Tape: Change public processes and procedures to make residential and commercial development and improvements easier and more efficient.
Over fifty local and statewide organizations have endorsed the Campaign for Vibrant and Safe Neighborhoods.
