What is Neighborhoods 2020?

The Neighborhoods 2020 process was created by the City Council to look at how the City serves and supports neighborhood organizations both internally and externally via finances, City staffing, organizational/advisory board oversight, and grant-funded programs. Each piece is important for equitable and high-quality services to be provided to residents. The Neighborhoods 2020 process comprises four important parts:

  • consistent funding and programming for neighborhoods andother community-based programs such as the One Minneapolis Fund and the Community Innovation Fund;
  • proper sizing and oversight of these programs by an advisory body;
  • a consistent citywide community engagement policy for the City of Minneapolis that incorporates the Core Principles of Community Engagement; and,
  • evaluating the Neighborhood and Community Relations Department’s service delivery model and making changes if necessary.
