Defining a Community or Neighborhood How do you define your neighborhood or community? • Geographical boundaries? • Schools? • Landmarks? • Population? • State of mind or shared sense of identity? • History? • Future? How do others who live there define it?
What May Make Partner Neighborhoods a Good Fit From System Perspective • Community readiness: shared priorities, existing organizing efforts, history of successful collaboration and use of data. • Need (e.g., poverty) • Reasonable population size (not too small or too large, e.g. 10,000–30,000 and significant proportion of children under age 18) • Significant public system involvement (e.g., foster care) • A middle and elementary school tied to neighborhood for programming
From the Community’s Perspective? • Demographics • Needs and Strengths • Public System Expenditures • Other Data • Historical Perspective • Population Shifts and Migration Patterns • Relationship with Public Systems • Existing Initiatives • Experience with Data • What else?
Local Support for Key Concepts Community readiness rests on: • shared priorities • partnership efforts: patterns of collaboration • data guiding decisions
Concluding Questions • What opportunities do you see for strengthening this neighborhood/community’s engagement in Evidence2Success? • What challenges do you see? • What excites you? • What, if anything, do you need to know more about? • Next steps?
