neighborhood empowerment

Neighborhood empowerment refers to the process of giving local residents and community members the tools, resources, and authority to actively participate in shaping their community’s development, services, and decision-making. It encourages residents to collaborate with local officials, advocate for their needs, and manage projects that improve safety, infrastructure, and quality of life. By fostering a sense of ownership and active involvement, neighborhood empowerment helps communities become more resilient, self-sufficient, and better equipped to address their unique challenges and opportunities.
