Flourishing Neighbnorhood Index
Effective strategies start with accurate diagnoses. It’s why we have been thrilled to launch the Flourishing Neighborhood Index (FNI). The FNI measures the health of your community across economic, social, and structural indicators.
The index is designed to assess your neighborhood holistically, giving you the key information to make strategic, place-based plans alongside your neighbors. Because neighborhood buy-in is essential, community members themselves conduct the FNI. Neighbors collect FROM the neighborhood and FOR the neighborhood.
The Flourishing Neighborhood Index is an 18-month process that will launch in January 2024. Interested in being involved? Email keeyon@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch by clicking the link below.
