This first publication from the Neighborhood
Jobs Initiative (NJI), a project that is developing innovative
place-based employment strategies in several inner-city communities,
introduces NJI's rationale and design. It describes the early
steps taken in each of five low-income communities to define
a local neighborhood-focused employment strategy, and it documents
the challenges faced in the early phase of NJI implementation.
