Human Capital Overview

The New Communities Initiative (NCI) is committed to creating a clear and realistic path to 100% resident success for every single resident.

The human capital element of the program provides comprehensive, strengths-based support services that address significant and immediate barriers to self-sufficiency among long-time residents. The provision of comprehensive case management services is one of the cornerstones of the New Communities approach based on best practices of integrating physical redevelopment with community support services.

The human capital plan was developed during the planning process for each of the four New Communities; Northwest One, Lincoln Heights/Richardson Dwellings, Barry Farm and Park Morton. During this public planning process, information was gathered from small focus group meetings, town halls, one-on-one meetings and surveys to inform the human capital plan.
