New Orleans Neighborhoods Partnership Network

NPN programs and resource tools leverage neighborhood groups’ limited resources to support them in their own development and to help tackle larger citywide issues. NPN’s programmatic structure is a four step process:

(1) Initial Assessment (2) Capacity Building/Problem Solving (3) Networking (4) Evaluation and Monitoring
