What is a ‘Promise Neighborhood’?
The federal Promise Neighborhoods program is a bold new initiative to break the cycle of generational poverty by improving the educational outcomes and overall life prospects of low-income children and their families. Inspired by the success of Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ), the Obama Administration has followed through on campaign promises to alleviate poverty with a national commitment to this comprehensive place-based approach to support children from birth through college. The Promise Neighborhoods’ vision is that “all children growing up in Promise Neighborhoods have access to effective schools and strong systems of family and community support that will prepare them to attain an excellent education and successfully transition to college and career.”

What does it mean that Hayward has a Promise Neighborhood planning grant?
Hayward is one of 21 communities across the United States that received a one year grant to support planning from the US Department of Education. This planning grant provides some resources for a broad partnership of community, agencies, and organizations to come together to design a continuum of solutions for serving Hayward children according to the guidelines of the Promise Neighborhood Program. The Promise Neighborhood Plan must include a continuum of cradle-through-college-to-career solutions that are linked and integrated seamlessly, and include both academic programs and family and community supports. The continuum of solutions must be made available to all children in the neighborhood, including those who do not attend a partner school. In the summer of 2011, the plan developed from the planning grant will be submitted in a proposal for implementation funding.
