DNDC is committed to stabilizing and revitalizing Danville neighborhoods by renovating and constructing homes, apartment buildings and commercial spaces. However, thriving, nurturing and safe neighborhoods are generated by engaged residents who are empowered with information and resources to bring about positive changes in their own homes and on their streets. And so, our revitalization strategies are rooted in each neighborhood’s vision: We assist neighbors – renters, property owners and business owners alike – with planning and convene partners and resources for implementation
Project Imagine is a 9-week work readiness program for ages 15 to 21 that provides at-risk and gang affiliated individuals with Employment education and on the job training. The program is based on the evidence-based theory of Cognitive Behavior Therapy in that if the youth can implement new information and standards, then he or she can change their behavior. The idea is that the program creates a positive "image" in the mind of the youth so that he or she can "Imagine" a life without gangs or crime.
