7th Street/McClymonds Corridor Neighborhood Improvement Initiative

Assisting the 7^th Street / McClymonds Corridor Neighborhood Improvement Initiative

The Initiative is a 7-year project emphasizing resident leadership in the development and implementation of strategies to improve the community. The goal is to improve the physical, economic, and human conditions in West Oakland. It also seeks to strengthen the ability of residents, associations, religious institutions and organizations to plan and implement community improvement strategies by increasing coordination, improving access to assistance and training, and increasing the availability of money to support specific projects. IURD’s role broadly is to provide relevant research and technical assistance:

	Provide Initiative-related project assistance to the San Francisco Foundation, including collecting data, reporting on baseline data and indicators, and providing status reports on local conditions.
	Conduct a number of action/research projects developed jointly with the Initiative members and tied to implementation of the Initiative's Community Plan. These entail fields of expertise such as housing, redevelopment, law, brownfields, education and social welfare.
