New Neighborhood Iniative
The New Neighborhood Initiative is a pioneering program dedicated to enhancing the well-being of families residing in apartment communities with low Child Well-Being Scores. Utilizing a forward-thinking two-generation approach, NNI is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by offering a comprehensive array of programs and services designed to uplift both children and their families while addressing key metrics outlined in the Child Well-Being Index.
The NNI recognizes the challenges faced by families without reliable transportation and easy access to essential resources. That’s why our programs and services are seamlessly integrated into apartment communities, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all residents. From providing access to basic necessities to delivering enriching programs directly within their neighborhoods, NNI supports families in stabilizing their home environments while fostering community engagement and social cohesion.
By fostering meaningful connections among residents and introducing them to their neighbors, NNI aims to cultivate robust social capital and empower communities to drive sustainable, positive change from within. Join us in building a brighter future, one neighborhood at a time.

If you could end homelessness, would you? Most of us would say that we would. What if you could end homelessness for even one family, is that something you would do? Again, most of us would.
Well, with SPARC, you can. At SPARC, you can end homelessness for one family for $2500. That is how much it costs us to move one family from homelessness to housed. How many families can you help us move?
