  27. Summary and Recommendations Summary and Recommendations - short: • Evidence of Capacity Building in Youth Development. Community Impact in strong in Early Childhood and Health with potential and perhaps evidence for transformational change, particularly if scale up continues and data support continues showing that community benefits are maintained. • The community was enhanced by significant funding acquired for Health and Community development projects. • To ensure transformational change for the Avondale community, strategies will need to be increasingly comprehensive to address complex community issues. Services will need to be further integrated to include schools (youth development), government, and social service work. Finally, funds will need to be leveraged to broaden the potential for impact.

  28. Summary and Recommendations: Avondale Summary and Recommendations - Full: Evidence of Capacity Building in Youth Development and Workforce Development. AYC has developed a database to track the academic and vocational outcomes of the 100+ youth who participate in the program each year. Evidence of Community Impact is strong in Early Childhood as ECS as gone from serving 23% to 62% of the eligible population in Avondale over the 4 years of place matters and the program is now serving fathers. ECS Program outcomes are also met each year. Evidence of Community Impact, with the potential for Transformational Change strong in the area of Health, particularly if scale up continues and data shows that health and community benefits are maintained long-term. A positive sign is that crime is decreasing relative to other neighborhoods Avondale was enhanced by significant funding acquired for Health and Community development projects, including a $625,000 grant that was awarded by the CDC to the Center for Closing the Health Gap for Obesity Prevention as part of a larger 6.7m Hamilton County collaborative and by a $100,000 grant from Chase bank to support the St. Michael’s project. To ensure transformational change for the Avondale community, strategies will need to be increasingly comprehensive to address complex community issues. Services will need to be further integrated to include schools (youth development), government, and social service work. Finally, additional funds will need to be leveraged to broaden the potential for community impact.

  42. Summary and Recommendations: Covington Summary and Recommendations - Full: Evidence of Capacity Building is noted in Community Learning Center programs where parent and youth involvement have increased significantly and where academic outcomes are also improving. Community Impact/Transformational Change is noted in Housing programs where the CGN rehabbed properties increase neighborhood property values and contribute to the city’s taxes. Other work with the city and policy strategies are noted, including canvassing 700 homes in to increase energy efficiency in collaboration with the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance Community. Finally, Covington’s creation and growth of resident lead organizations and mini-grants programs are a Model for promoting community engagement in other neighborhoods. Models are sustainable but scale-up is needed for some initiatives to ensure broader community impact. To increase the potential for scale up and sustainability, CGN should also consider aligning goals to funder priorities without compromising priorities. Recommendations are to strengthen health initiatives and outcomes for early childhood and financial stability which will create a broader service model for transformational change. A second recommendation is to define and document best practices as they emerge to ensure replication in other communities.
