Project Description
Neighborhood 101 Guides were created to equip the Fort Wayne neighborhood associations, residents, and community members with resources to effect positive change. Each guide covers a specific topic (like "How to Activate a Vacant Lot" or "How to Start a Neighborhood Association") to help to shed light on services and opportunities that are available to City residents.
We hope each of these guides helps clarify how the City of Fort Wayne and other organizations in our community can help our neighborhoods develop and achieve their goals!
