Neighborhood Enhancement Program
The Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP) is a collaborative effort between the City of Cincinnati, community residents, and local stakeholders to develop neighborhood assets. City hot spots are identified through analysis of crime data from the Police Department and quality of life indicators such as vacant buildings, foreclosures, building code violations, weeds and litter violations, and junk autos. The partners then engage in a comprehensive approach to improving safety, eliminating blight, and improving livability within a targeted 90-day period. The NEP builds on an integrated service delivery system utilizing short-term/high-impact initiatives that are results-driven. Community members are engaged to address quality of life issues and are empowered to utilize sustainable strategies for improvement.Keep Cincinnati Beautiful is an integral part of the team by coordinating community art projects on blighted buildings, neighborhood cleanups, environmental educational programming, recycling, and greenspace beautification. KCB also conducts a pre- and post- Blight Index as a measurement tool for the NEP.
The Neighborhood Enhancement Program received the prestigious honor of winning the National 2008 Program of the Year at the Neighborhoods USA (NUSA) Annual Conference.
