Strong Neighborhoods Initiative
What is Strong Neighborhoods Initiative (SNI)?
Established by the City Council in 2002, the Strong Neighborhood Initiative is a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization program led by the City of San Jose, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, and the community to build clean, safe and attractive neighborhoods with strong, independent, and capable organizations.
The core Strong Neighborhoods strategy is to provide meaningful and visible change in each neighborhood through five initiatives.
Affordable housing
Cleaner neighborhoods
Safer and more attractive residential streets
Vital business districts
New parks and community centers
These initiatives emerged from the Strong Neighborhoods planning processes whereby neighborhood improvement plans for each neighborhood established key priorities throughout the project area. |
