Making Connections Neighborhood Initiative:
Lower San Antonio Data Support Project
Making Connections is the centerpiece of the Annie E.
Casey Foundation’s multi-faceted effort to improve the life chances of
vulnerable children by helping to strengthen their families and
neighborhoods. Making Connections began a 3-year demonstration phase
to work with neighborhoods in 22 cities to promote programs, activities,
and policies that contribute to strong families. In Oakland, Making
Connections is focused on the Lower San Antonio neighborhood. The
primary aim of this effort is to stimulate and support a local movement
that engages residents, civic groups, political leaders, grassroots
groups, public and private sector leadership, and faith-based
organizations in an effort to help transform tough neighborhoods into
family-supportive environments. IURD is providing the GIS-based
information and is designing strategies for its dissemination and use.
