Decorative Board Up stabilizes and secures derelict abandoned properties in North Camden to improve the look of the neighborhood and encourage investment and in-fill rehabilitation. This is a summer program implemented with the Camden Community Development Association and The Neighborhood Foundation. Since the summer of 2014, about 4,000 man-hours have contributed to over 100 vacant properties and provided 20 local summer jobs (4-5 jobs annually).
If you’re interested in bringing Decorative Board Up to your community, please contact Chris Toepfer of The Neighborhood Foundation at (312) 863-9111 or ctoepfer@tnfamerica.com.
