Healthy Neighborhoods

Dedicated to the strengthening of Stark County neighborhoods, we use the “Healthy Neighborhoods” concepts of nationally-recognized neighborhood strategist David Boehlke in our revitalization work.

Our Healthy Neighborhoods program features innovative initiatives that build upon neighborhood strengths rather than deficiencies. We strive to promote “neighborhoods of choice” where residents confidently invest their Time, Effort, and Money (as TEAM Players) and become actively involved in everyday neighborhood activities.

The Aultman Core Asset Area is an approximately 500 acre area bounded by 4th St NW, Harrison Ave, Bellflower Ave, and 11th St SW. Programming specific to this area includes the Aultman Down Payment Assistance Program, theĀ  Aultman Employee Rental Incentive Program, and the Aultman Model Investor Reward Program. These programs are made possible with financial support from The Aultman Health Foundation.
