What is the “whole block strategy”?
It means tackling every vacant structure on a block — plus supporting existing residents — to create lasting, neighborhood-wide transformation.
The “whole block strategy” focuses on addressing every vacant property and lot on a block, as well as assisting existing homeowners, using every available tool. This matters because it supports a holistic approach – rooted in equity, justice, and righting historical wrongs – leaving no one, or no one property behind.
