Collecting Community Input During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Steering Committee was made up of residents and other community-based organizations. The Committee met on a monthly basis since the start of the process in October 2020. The group provided feedback on the community engagement process, reviewed the feedback gathered and helped to identify the focus areas and set priorities for the plan.

The focus areas were informed by feedback from residents and stakeholders on pressing priorities and existing plans, including the 2006 redevelopment plan for Clinton Hill, Greater Newark LISC’s Community Listening Tour (2017), South Ward Promise Neighborhood’s Promise Plan (2018), Newark Beth Israel’s Community Health Needs Assessment (2019) and more.

CHCA will manage the plan’s implementation, with Greater Newark LISC and South Ward Promise Neighborhood convening residents and key partners to implement priorities named in the plan. A report card will be produced on a quarterly basis, with an annual report provided to the community on progress and challenges in implementing the plan.
