The Neighborhood Improvement and Development Coalition, NID, is an organization
developed by the community for the community in an effort to serve as the collective
voice of the community. The NID Coalition's mission is to communicate the concerns of
residents and business owners which live and do business in high risk neighborhoods, and
to be the forerunner in the development of that community; To advocate equality of
services, resources and safe living conditions for the residents of low income
neighborhoods within our community; To secure opportunities for the residents of our
community in the area of;Ouall~ ~duciltlon. for every juvenile and adult; Economic
Emoowerment for every family; and EmolovrnJnt DeveloDment for every able person
within our community; To mend fences and restore trust between merchant and
consumer; And to combine concerned business owners and concerned residents within
the community, to an established coalition that will build a fortress of stregnth and foster
civil and moral relationships with consistancy.

Curfew C9ntrol " Proiect In BY Ten"
"~ . -
The NID is preparing to stand before the City Counsel on March 7th at 3 :00 p.m. to
advocate a call for curfew in the known demographic area of; Date Street, south to
Pacific; and Arden, west to Del Rosa. Our research indicates that 73% of violent crimes
and deaths in this area occur after night fall and particularly during the hours after our
proposed curfew. Many parents are afraid to allow their children to play outside due to
the potential danger. The children and teens in our community are terrified of the ever
present threat of violence and even death. Many of the children that live in this area have
attended our town hall meetings and are suprisingly supportive of this action. There are
as many as 50 youth from this area that are members of the Praise Tabernacle Church,
which is the church that has given leadership to the NID Coalition and this call for
curfew.
Goal and Objective: Our goal is to create an unattractive neighborhood to the negative
element that has seemed to plague our streets. We also are hoping that this action will
restore family interaction and foster parent ineteraction with their student/child which
will increase learning. We envision a restructuring that will take place in the family unit,
and parents will be able to regain authority that has been lost to many of them in the
home. '
