San Diego Promise Zone - Grants & Research Associate

In 2016, several neighborhoods in the City of San Diego were awarded designation as a Promise Zone, a federal place-based initiative administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Department of Agriculture. The initiative’s goal is to alleviate poverty in some of the country’s most historically under-resourced communities through a collaborative framework that unites organizations to work on shared goals. The San Diego Promise Zone initiative seeks to break the concept that the neighborhood in which you grow up negatively impacts the chances of your graduating high school, suffering a chronic disease or experiencing economic prosperity. The Promise Zone aims to transform these under-resourced communities in San Diego by 1) improving educational opportunities; 2) creating a priority of safety; 3) increasing economic activities; 4) creating jobs; 5) increasing access to affordable housing; and 6) increasing access to healthcare and healthy foods. The effort’s overarching goal is to ensure that everyone has equitable access to opportunities. With the City of San Diego serving as the lead organization, the Promise Zone has an operations team that convenes and coordinates meetings and activities with more than 65 partners, including nonprofits, community-based organizations, government agencies, and businesses, while centering resident voices.
