Critical Moment | Detroit by Detroiters. Pure Detroit. 313. The Detroit Data Guru. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education invited communities to apply for a grant from the Promise Neighborhoods Program. Building off work done by Geoffrey Canada at the Harlem Children’s Zone, the Promise Neighborhoods Program was designed to provide funding to improve the educational and developmental outcomes of children in the nation’s most distressed communities. The funding could support efforts that: help leaders and members of the community understand the state of children in their neighborhoods;connect schools, families and the community to support children from the cradle through college to career;help agencies and programs work effectively together;help the public and private sectors work together to spread best practices beyond the pilot neighborhood; andinstitute a rigorous evaluation of the program. Grant winners receive a one-year planning grant. Seven of the 339 applications received by the Promise Neighborhoods Program came from Michigan.
