WHAT MAKES GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS?


SafeGrowth® operates at a NEIGHBORHOOD level. The residents deserve to live in safe & livable - great neighborhoods.

Great neighborhoods are not great by coincidence. ​They are great because they are safe and they offer opportunities for creativity, diversity & mobility.
​
Neighborhoods become great because people there care for one another & participate in community life. ​
