Recent Safe Neighborhoods Project

For some time the East Sprague neighborhood has suffered from significant vice and social problems; however, the neighborhood has recently mounted a concerted effort to address these issues.  The purpose of the grant awarded to the City of Spokane by the Inland Northwest Community Foundation was to support the East Sprague business neighborhood in its efforts to improve real and perceived safety by establishing an ambassador program.  Early on, it became apparent that there was little neighborhood business support for such an initiative necessitating the pursuit of sustainable and effective alternatives.  As such, the purpose of the present report is to provide an analysis of the neighborhood needs, document innovative resolutions which have emerged through the efforts of the grant, and to provide recommendations about how the neighborhood might move forward in their efforts to improve real and perceived safety within the area.
