Project Vision

The Neighborhood Sustainability Indicators Project (NSIP) Pilot is an innovative, community-based, grassroots effort to engage neighborhood residents, businesses and institutions to define their vision, goals and targets for sustainability at the local level and take specific actions towards meeting their identified goals. The intent of NSIP is to develop a framework for neighborhood sustainability, inspire and sustain citizen-led efforts over time and to produce tangible records of progress though monitoring of measurable sustainability indicators.

The Pilot Project is specifically focused on the ANC3F area covering the North Cleveland Park, Forest Hills and Tenleytown areas of Ward 3, Washington, DC. Over the past year, citizens from this area have developed a vision and established specific sustainability goals for their community. Draft overview and baseline reports (now available for download) provide additional details on the project.
