The Neighborhoods Phase Action Plan focuses on expanding and supporting resident engagement, building neighborhood capacity, and the delivery system. Specifically, the following goals and objectives were identified. Many of the Neighborhoods Phase actions tie into the longer-term objectives and actions identified in the Human Services Action Plan. Goal: Residents are viewed as trusted advisors, co-designers and co-producers of a thriving Goodyear.
Objective 1: Increase the number of residents effectively, collectively, and positively advocating for their neighborhoods and their community Objective 2: Increase the number of residents committing the time necessary to build effective connections and neighborhood networks.
Goal: Residents work together to create and sustain healthy neighborhoods.
Objec
tive 1: Increase the number of Goodyear neighborhoods conducting asset inventories and actively implementing engagement and other neighborhood activities. Objective 2: Recognize Goodyear neighborhoods as positive contributors to a thriving community.
Objective 3: Invest human and financial resources in neighborhood-lead activities.
Goal: Goodyear’s Community and Neighborhood Services Delivery System is accountable and participatory. It provides a safety-net in times of crisis, supports stability for residents on the cusp of crisis, and provides opportunities for resident engagement, self-determination, and prosperity.
Objective 1: Identify and remove institutional barriers that prevent residents from taking on activities that do not require government or institutional intervention. Objective 2: Increase the use of Neighborhood Services’ resident engagement tools by city departments.
While there is work to be done to further engage residents and develop implementation systems, neighborhood residents and city officials can benefit from what emerged during the Neighborhoods Phase planning process. Several actionable opportunities are reflected in the Action Plan in addition to neighborhood-specific perceptions and priorities indicated on pages 11 - 15. |
