The document outlines a neighborhood transformation (NT) strategy to empower individuals and transform communities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The NT strategy trains community members to meet each other's holistic needs and build on neighborhood assets rather than focusing on problems. Community members are equipped through lessons and share what they learn house-to-house, creating a grassroots movement that improves lives and neighborhoods from the inside out. The long-term goal is transforming cities through revitalized neighborhoods helping one another.
