The official website of the Neighborhood Empowerment Network (NEN) Powered by a strategic partnership of City Agencies, local non profits and committed community leaders, the NEN is a collaborative platform that serves as a central engagement point for communities to find and share information that will empower them to make their neighborhoods a better place to live. The NEN helps both established and up and coming community leaders learn of new ways to help their neighborhoods become safer, greener, cleaner, stronger, and ultimately be better prepared for natural disasters.
