What is the Brooklyn/Curtis Bay Neighborhood Action Plan?

Community Action Plan Vote-In Meeting

We can’t wait to see you all on Wednesday, June 24 at 4:30PM at the meeting to ratify the Brooklyn/Curtis Bay Neighborhood Action Plan!

Over the past year and a half, residents, community leaders, stakeholders, and partners across Brooklyn and Curtis Bay have come together to listen, learn, discuss, and plan for the future of our two great neighborhoods. We have met with community members and organizations throughout the process to ensure that we work together to create a neighborhood action plan that reflects the needs, priorities, and vision of our residents.

Now, we need your help to make it official.

Anybody who lives or works in these neighborhoods is invited to join us on June 24, 2026 at 4:30 PM for the Community Action Plan Vote-In Meeting. With your vote, we can officially adopt the Neighborhood Action Plan and move forward toward implementation and our community-wide release celebration in August.

Bring the whole family and be part of this important milestone.

So, what exactly is this Neighborhood Action Plan?

Starting in 2025, SBCLT has been the host organization (the “community quarterback”) of Brooklyn/Curtis Bay ENOUGH, a targeted state-funded initiative to end childhood poverty in Brooklyn and Curtis Bay. Through BCB ENOUGH, we organize with community leaders around the issue of child poverty, because we know that early pollutant exposure is a cause of adverse health and social outcomes. Our BCB ENOUGH community leaders have been listening, researching, and designing neighborhood-based strategies and solutions to address childhood poverty. This Neighborhood Action Plan outlines those strategies and solutions.

Why do I need to vote?

This plan was created by the community, for the community, and your voice matters. Just because group of community leaders drafted the plan through a year-long community listening process doesn’t mean that the community’s role is done. This plan belongs to YOU and to every other resident of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay. One group of leaders can’t decide the plan for the whole community. We need YOUR participation in this vote-in meeting to share your thoughts about the plan, and to vote to adopt it if you support it.

What happens after the Neighborhood Action Plan is adopted?

If the Neighborhood Action Plan is adopted after the vote on Wednesday, June 24, we start working together to implement it! The plan includes lots of concrete strategies and solutions to address childhood poverty in Brooklyn and Curtis Bay. These strategies require the whole community to come together. So, the work doesn’t end with the vote on June 24. In fact, it’s just beginning!

We look forward to seeing you there as we take this exciting next step together!
