Nov. 7, 2008 - Citizens on Patrol Class

Greeting to all,
 
I apologize for the short notice on this, but I only received the information on the Citizens on Patrol Class yesterday afternoon.  I have attached an overview of the program and if you are interested please reply as soon as possible.  The first class starts next Wednesday so the coordinator would need to be notified within the next day or so.  Please pass this along to the members of your watches.  There are approximately 14 seats left in the class and they will be filled on a first come, first served basis.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Our History



In 1983 Neighborhood Housing Services, in cooperation with the City of Gainesville, began a revitalization effort in the community that is now known as the Stephen Foster Neighborhood. This revitalization effort had many facets, first and foremost was to create a sense of community. Neighborhood signs were posted, community events planned, and neighborhood cleanups scheduled. Recently there have been creek clean ups and Neighborhood Night Out walks to unify us with our neighbors.

Since property owners have a more vested interest in the neighborhood, programs were developed and funded to assist families with the purchase of first homes in the neighborhood. Over the years since the first family moved into the neighborhood, this program changed the face of this community. An area that was made up primarily of rental homes is now a diverse community of homeowners and long term leasers.

Currently we have received a $15,000 grant as part of the City of Gainesville Neighborhood Planning Program. They only select one or two neighborhoods per year for this grant money and neighborhood participation is the cornerstone of this project. If you would like to be included in working on this project please contact us.
