BNCP focuses on the nation�s neediest neighborhoods, those that struggle with such issues as crime, poor health, struggling schools, inadequate housing, and access to employment BNCP seeks to assist neighborhoods in developing the capacity to undertake comprehensive planning and development activities and to partner with neighborhoods in the long-term process of rebuilding and revitalization.This program is being jointly funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U. S. Department of Education.

Statutory authorities for this initiative are dependent upon final funding decisions and the proportional contributions of each participating agency (as well as the number and composition of participating agencies) may be subject to change during the term of this project.Through the BNCP TTA Coordinator Program, five competitively selected neighborhoods will be provided a range of TTA to help them begin to undertake revitalization, guided by comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans, in concert with relevant local and state plans and planning processes.

The competitively selected BNCP TTA Coordinator will coordinate, provide and/or broker needed support to the selected sites, through a variety of TTA activities outlined in the following solicitation.
