Neighborhood Centers Inc. is the recipient of a $500,000 Promise Neighborhood grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, and that focuses on neighborhood transformation through the improvement of educational outcomes for children.
The grant will support Neighborhood Centers’ ongoing transformation of the Gulfton community into a "promise neighborhood" by accelerating the collaborative process with community partners – something that’s traditionally unfunded.
The award recognizes Neighborhood Centers’ successful track record working with emerging neighborhoods and is one of 21 awards selected from more than 300 applicants nationwide and only two in Texas organizations.
