What Is The Smithfield – College Hills – Graymont Initiative? – A CHOICE Community

 

The Smithfield-College Hills-Graymont Choice Neighborhood initiative is a signature place-based approach that creates opportunities for residents, preserves affordable housing and rebuilds inclusive neighborhoods. The central focus point of this initiative is the Smithfield Court public housing community. The theme that runs throughout Choice Neighborhoods is social equity and economic mobility. HABD and the City are working with local, regional and federal partners to bring significant resources to the community.

This Initiative puts residents first and aligns partners and resources to invest in People/Education, Housing and Neighborhood.
