Central City South is a community that is service rich. Organizations including Chicanos por la Causa, Friendly House and the I.G. Homes Boys and Girls Club are all housed in this community. However, in the past very few residents of this community accessed these services either because they didn't know they existed or they were simply apprehensive to walk through the doors. In order to combat this problem Phoenix Revitalization Corporation developed the Central City South Community Newsletter.
This newsletter is full of information about events and services within the community and in surrounding areas. In addition, local businesses and neighborhood associations can advertise in the newsletter free of charge. This professionally printed full color newsletter is hand delivered to 17,ooo residents bimonthly. It is also e-blasted to anyone who wishes to have a copy sent to his or her email. This tool has become the most successful piece of Phoenix Revitalization’s effort to connect community members and service providers. Residents and stakeholders look forward to the delivery of the newsletter, and for many this is the only tool they have to access information about their community.
