“The university area cdc's neighborhood transformation strategy (nts) follows a community development model that effectively supports university area residents by implementing nine initiatives aimed at improving their economic and social conditions. Our holistic approach engages and empowers members of this lowincome community by including them in the process of creation, implementation, and management of this transformation plan. We believe that by providing the essential tools and support, we will enable residents to become change agents for their neighborhood and attain better jobs, better health, and better futures for their children. Overall, between 50% and 75% of university area residents are classified as having low-to-moderate income. Their per capita income has not significantly increased during the past few years; joblessness remains higher here than in hillsborough county overall; and many community members have no reliable means of transportation. These economic conditions create further problems for the area - impacting health, education, and housing. The neighborhood transformation strategy, through its nine strategies, is focused on programs that address these issues and seek to improve the economic and social conditions of university area residents. The nine nts initiatives include: harvest hope park; community safety action; community outreach; harvest hope properties; land banking; harvest hope campus; neighborhood survey, community infrastructure and university area partners collective.”
