This policy example on the Promise Neighborhoods program is a companion to the report A Blueprint for the Next Generation of Federal Place-Based Policy. The blueprint offers a two-step process for policy analysis and program design that starts with high-level, analytical questions that help provide the aspirational framework for then addressing a series of specific design decisions. By offering recommendations across key design decisions, this policy example illustrates how the federal government can deploy resources to local entities to improve outcomes for people living in disinvested urban and rural neighborhoods.
