Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, the City of Cleveland and many other partners worked collaboratively for a year with the KSU Urban Design Center to research and explore the opportunities that can be created from the productive and strategic re-use of vacant land. This report highlights new visions and strategies that can re-create Cleveland as a more sustainable city. A How-to Pattern Book has also been published. To receive a printed copy of either or both, please contact Neighborhood Progress at 830-2770 or by email to www@neighborhoodprogress.org Or you can download the PDF documents: Click on the link for a list of Pilot Projects selected for Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Click on the link for Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Click on the link for the Pattern Book of Vacant Land Re-Use Strategies Opportunity Homes Opportunity Homes are renovated, energy-efficient homes in six Cleveland neighborhoods – Detroit Shoreway, Buckeye/Shaker, Tremont, Fairfax, Glenville-Wade Park, and Broadway-Slavic Village. See the link above for the sales site! Opportunity Homes is partnership between the City of Cleveland, Neighborhood Progress, Inc., the Cleveland Housing Network, and the community development corporation representing each of the six neighborhoods. Each of these partners brings a special skill to the table – the Cleveland Housing Network has deep experience in home rehabilitation; Neighborhood Progress has a long track record of supporting community development; and each of the community development corporations has strong ties to the neighborhood and its residents. Together, with support from the City of Cleveland, they are making a difference. Foreclosure Prevention Opportunity Homes, which will rehabilitate and sell homes in six neighborhoods, is one part of a comprehensive strategy to address the foreclosure issue which is devastating Cleveland neighborhoods. Opportunity Homes is partnering with organization like Empowering and Strengthening Ohio’s People (ESOP), the Cleveland Housing Network, Neighborhood Housing Services, Community Housing Solutions, and others, to prevent families from losing their homes to foreclosure in the first place – through counseling, organizing and advocating for families in distress. However, Neighborhood Progress is working on other strategies as well, which will reduce vacancy, abandonment and foreclosure, including a land assembly team, assisting with the county land bank efforts, and a pilot receivership program. |

To restore and maintain the health and vitality of Cleveland’s neighborhoods through private investment and support for community initiatives. Our goal is to be a catalyst for change. To this end, we strategically invest in community development organizations, their projects and their vision for the future. “Reinvigorating the Urban Marketplace: Cleveland’s Strategic Investment Initiative” In the face of a transitioning economy, Cleveland’s neighborhoods need to compete for residents, business and investment. Neighborhood Progress, along with its community partners, is in the forefront of efforts to respond to this challenge. We have embarked on a unique effort that builds upon our nationally recognized work in rebuilding Cleveland’s neighborhoods. Our Strategic Investment Initiative focuses initially on six neighborhoods that have developed plans for stimulating market recovery and improving the quality of life to create neighborhoods of choice. The brochure below describes the approach we are using to bring together community stakeholders around a comprehensive rebuilding agenda – resident engagement, new and renovated housing, improved services, parks and green space, small business development and safety. Our work builds on neighborhood assets and connects communities to areas of strength like Greater University Circle and the Lakefront. The public-private partnership that led to the formation of Neighborhood Progress in 1989 is more important than ever as Cleveland works to redefine itself in this new global economy while ensuring greater opportunity for all of its citizens. The approach described here shows the power of partnership and demonstrates the vital role that Cleveland’s neighborhoods can play in the long-term health and vitality of the region. We invite you to join us in this important work.
