Great neighborhoods include many things: quality housing, friendly neighbors,a clean and well cared-for environment, good schools and low crime, among others. But the foundation is always the same:
people who care.
The truth is struggling neighborhoods won’t improve because of a federal grant or outside resource alone. Lasting change only occurs when people take ownership of their community and their own lives. We can pave the streets and paint the houses, but unless people care about each other and the future of their community, it won't be a truly great neighborhood.
For over 25 years, the Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington, formerly Covington Community Center, has been dedicated to helping people improve their lives by improving the quality of urban neighborhoods. Strong neighborhoods provide stability, social supports and a web of vital resources that allow families and individuals to thrive.
The Center equips residents with the tools and resources they need to create healthy, thriving neighborhoods.
