SafeGrowth is a philosophy of neighborhood living as well as a model for neighborhood development and crime prevention.
Empowering local residents to take ownership of their neighborhood is the essence of our work. |
We believe in the capacity of empowered neighborhoods to craft their own future full of imagination and free of crime. Our vehicle to achieve that future is SafeGrowth - a method of neighborhood planning that creates new relationships between city governments and residents.
SafeGrowth® builds community capacity with annual neighborhood plans and permanent, problem-solving teams networked together throughout the city. Any city can apply SafeGrowth® to build a new kind of sustainable and resilient 21st Century City. |
