Promise Zone Philadelphia
Philadelphian Synergy Breaking West Philly’s Poverty
Abstract
President Obama’s fight against deep and persistent poverty created the Promise Zone Initiative in January 2014. The initiative was built on the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI) as part of the President’s Ladders of Opportunity agenda, which allows the federal government to work with local communities and brings federal investment and attention to needed areas. The five key activities in these areas are: create jobs, increase economic activity, improve education opportunities, reduce violent crime and leverage private capital. The first five zones are in San Antonio, Los Angeles, southeastern Kentucky, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Philadelphia.
