Start small and rely on residents as leaders in the effort. Ten graduates of the Neighborhood Leadership Institute, a nine-month training program funded by the three foundations, make up the committee that reviews and scores the grant proposals. Each grant applicant needs to present a project that has at least three residents involved, one of whom is required to live or work in the neighborhood. Applicants also are required to provide matching support, whether monetary or in kind. Some of the approved ideas include positive body image workshops for teen girls in Sherman Park; a community book club in Lindsay Heights and an effort to install more security cameras in the alleys in Grasslyn Manor.
While simple in concept, the program marked a new way of doing things for the three, which each had distinctive grantmaking processes. Based on feedback from residents, the foundations have made improvements to the process along the way.

The NNI seeks to build on a long history of creative and courageous leadership among the people who live in Northside.
The vision is for a vibrant, diverse, family-friendly neighborhood that includes elders, students, families, and others in dynamic, inter-generational relationships and honors the history of Northside. This vision has been conveyed through decades of neighborhood and organizational leadership, hundreds of oral histories, porch conversations, and recent planning efforts in collaboration with neighborhood, Town, and UNC leaders.
The NNI is designed to balance housing types in the neighborhood, in order to preserve the future of Northside as a community that serves homeowners and renters from a wide variety of backgrounds with an emphasis on people who work in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, by pursuing the following specific goals: 1.
Helping long-term residents who want to stay in Northside remain in their homes; 2. Attracting new residents — a balance of working families, seniors and students — from diverse backgrounds; and 3. Increasing the availability of housing and financing options for neighborhood properties. Self-Help is forming the Northside land bank to try and gain control of key properties that can help support neighborhood goals.
Self-Help hopes to acquire properties from owners looking to sell, and plans to make these properties available for purchase by homeowners, non-profit housing providers, and other developers responsive to neighborhood interests. If you are an individual buyer or represent an organization, and would like to inquire about property availability, please be in touch with the Jackson Center so they can add you to the contact list for when homes become available.
If you own property in Northside and are thinking about selling, please be in touch with the Jackson Center to talk more about your interests. Students committed to being invested citizens of Chapel Hill have been leaders in making this effort possible. Students in the future will have an opportunity to live in vibrant, diverse community and expand their education and learn the history underneath their feet. Also, current and former students have for years played an active role by working as fellows, volunteers and full-time employees at the Jackson Center.
