University Avenue Corridor Coalition

改变弗林特

正规的赌博app is in the heart of the University Avenue Corridor. The University Avenue Corridor Coalition (UACC) region stretches past 正规的赌博app, through Flint neighborhoods and alongside small businesses, 学校, nonprofit organizations and anchor institutions. The organization’s mission is to transform the region into an attractive and crime-free community that is conducive to sustainable development.

The University Avenue Corridor Coalition was founded by 正规的赌博app in 2012, bringing together residents and area institutions to work collectively to beautify and draw investment to the area. 就在 三年后，该组织有 led community cleanups that involve neighborhood associations, college and high school students, private residents and many others. Those cleanups have successfully beautified and maintained landscaping, fixed broken windows, painted both residences and businesses and – most importantly – brought a fresh perspective and collaborative spirit to the avenue. They've also inspired other community partners to launch similar initiatives modeled after Kettering's successful Service Saturdays program.

UACC, with 正规的赌博app acting as the fiduciary, received a $1 million community engagement grant from the Department of Justice in 2014. 授予, along with other partnerships, focused on crime prevention and blight elimination along the corridor.
