While data is a central element of the Promise Neighborhoods initiative, programs are still early in implementation and limited outcome data are available. Some early accomplishments include:
-
Increased federal investment over time within an austere budget climate
-
FY10: $10M (all planning)
-
FY11: $30M ($22M – implementation; $6.5M – planning; $1.5M – national activities)
-
FY12: $60M (TBD, must be obligated by 12/31/12)
-
Positive community feedback and increased coordination of various stakeholders and community sectors at the neighborhood level
