 Neighborhoods 2020

Neighborhoods 2020 is an opportunity to further develop and improve upon the City of Minneapolis’ neighborhood based engagement structure.  Neighborhood organizations are by the people, for the people.  When all of our residents are informed, connected to their community, & feel represented in City of Minneapolis government they are empowered to influence decisions that impact their lives.

This is also an opportunity to look at how the City of Minneapolis serves and supports neighborhood organizations both internally and externally via staffing, organizational / advisory board oversight, and grant funded programs.  Each piece is important for equitable and high quality services to our residents.

The lens that Neighborhoods 2020 uses encompasses four important parts:

1). Consistent funding and programming for neighborhoods and other community based programs such as One Minneapolis and the Community Innovation Fund

2). Proper sizing and oversight of these programs by an advisory body

3). A consistent Citywide Community Engagement policy for the City of Minneapolis that incorporates the Core Principles of Community Engagement

4). Evaluating the Neighborhood and Community Relations Department’s service delivery model and making changes if necessary.
