Public
and private partnerships--on the local and national level--play
an integral role in the success of both individual centers and the
Neighborhood Networks initiative by contributing to center sustainability.
Partnerships
can vary in length and scope, ranging from organizing a single event
to multiyear agreements to train and place residents in jobs.
The opportunities for partnerships with Neighborhood Networks are
limitless:
National
Partnerships are established between HUD and national public
or private organizations. Through these partnerships, individual
centers across the country can easily access products and services
negotiated between HUD and a national partner.
Local
Partnerships are established between individual centers and
local businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
For example, a center might partner with a local health clinic to
offer free vaccinations to young residents. Often,
the best partnership opportunities are right in a center's community.
