Description
The PRC conducted a cross-site evaluation of the beautification activities of Ruth Mott Foundation grantees and the effects of these efforts on community and resident outcomes. The evaluation engaged stakeholders in a participatory process; facilitated critical deliberations about effective strategies and efficient allocation of resources required to sustain community revitalization; and documented and disseminated the results of a comprehensive approach to creating a safe, attractive and livable community.
