| Overview
|
| The Research Foundation of State University of New York at Binghamton will use its $399,997 Community Outreach Partnership Centers grant to help revitalize neighborhoods in center-city Binghamton. The project focuses on the coordination of existing services for optimal use, expanding outreach and referral capabilities, and thorough assessments of unmet needs for additional service and resource development. The Community Advisory Council, comprised of leaders from community groups and organizations and residents from the target area, will meet on a monthly basis with the University Action Team (composed of twelve university representatives and a number of students) to help guide the development and implementation of project activities. Six teams will address specific target focus areas: community organizing, community planning, education, health and well-being, job training, and housing. Critical to the sustained improvement of these neighborhoods is the active, positive involvement of residents in the community organizing and development processes.
