The NRN pilot will offer immediate assistance to over 50 cities through the 311 service, as well as on-the-ground engagement in at least 10 cities, including: Compton, CA; Lynwood, CA; Fall River, MA; Kansas City, KS; and Miami, FL. The National Resource Network was created out of demand from cities around the country to have access to experts and information that can help them address the mounting challenges of growing inequality, high unemployment, under-performing schools, aging infrastructure and vacant and blighted properties.
The NRN is a three-year, $10 million technical assistance program funded by HUD and being implemented by a group of leading experts from the public and private sectors, including Enterprise Community Partners, Public Financial Management, HR&A Advisors, New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the International City/County Management Association.
