FULTON, NY – At the heart of the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative (HNI) which is what Fulton Block Builders is founded on, is a shared sense of community.

Community is about engagement, sharing excitement, and being good neighbors.

All around the city you can find neighbors helping each other just as these three have done on the west side.

Many neighborhoods in transition lack a sense of community among their residents.

The HNI approach provides the foundation for building neighborly relationships.

Through Fulton Block Builders (FBB) cultivates an environment that is conducive to managing neighborhood change.

FBB builds a sense of community by focusing on civic engagement and empowering residents to work together on their properties and neighborhoods.

FBB breaks from the traditional advocacy approach to community organizing and focuses on resident engagement.

FBB’s primary goal is not to organize residents to be vocal about their neighborhoods and the problems that need to be addressed, but to encourage residents to become engaged in their community and neighborhood and to take a proactive role in creating positive change.

The three gentlemen seen here in this photo are living proof that this concept is taking hold around the city of Fulton.
