NeighborhoodStat

For over a year, a team of residents from Brownsville Houses has been meeting with neighbors, city agencies, and community-based organizations to prioritize the community safety issues most important to their development. These teams are at the heart of NeighborhoodStat (or “NStat”). The NStat team meets regularly and has been trained in surveying their community and generating solutions with concrete implementation plans. Through this process, the NStat team is revitalizing critical hotspots with a range of creative projects and social programing to encourage community use of these spaces and to improve feelings of safety. Focus areas include Dr. Green Playground, PS 125 Playground (a.k.a. “Shadyside”) and a NYCHA outdoor communal space (a.k.a. “the Middle”).

The Brownsville Nstat Team led a participatory budgeting process through Local NeighborhoodStat in which residents were invited to submit their own ideas to strengthen safety and build community through built environment projects and/or social programming. The Brownsville Houses NStat Team collected 499 responses from neighbors. The most popular project and priority for investing $30,000 was a Youth Sports and Mentorship Program designed to engage youth between the ages of 15 and 20. The program will emphasize education and job readiness for young people and will strengthen spaces through sports and parks.

MAP Agency Programs

Since its launch in 2014, MAP agency partners have focused their programming to meet a variety of needs, ranging from support of seniors and kinship caregivers, mentorship of young adults, family-friendly programming of playgrounds, safe spaces for teens, assistance with public benefits, youth employment, and more.

The Brownsville Nstat Team is currently building a digital network to stay connected to one another during this time and to develop platforms to reimagine digital public space, co-create safety responses, support community building, and convene city agencies to leverage resources and collaboratively solve local problems.
