Chapter 13

How Neighborhoods Change?
I believe neighborhoods change greatly by those living in them and the help of organizations, the government and policies.

I found alot of interesting websites regarding the upgrading of slums and other programs out there for bettering the housing for people here in the United States. I would like to share a few of them with you.

Below is the link to an article for Community Driven Development

The Urban Institute has alot of great and interesting information and I highly encourage everyone to navigate through it with the link provided below.

I found a program called NeighborWorks in which poor and deteriorating communities are revitalized. I had never heard of it before, but found it to be pretty beneficial to those living in poor communities.
