Philadelphia Empowerment Zone Neighborhoods
The Empowerment Zone's Neighborhood Resources, staffed by its Program Operations Unit, are
centered around a vast array of economic and community development programs. These programs were
designed and funded by the Zone's Community Trust Boards and other partners. Those under
implementation are operated by providers under contract with the Empowerment Zone. These contracts
are monitored by the EZ's Program Administration staff, who assure program goals are met and help
providers deliver the best services possible.
In this section, you will find information on our three Community
Trust Boards, the programs currently under operation, and an explanation of some of our other
current initiatives. Providers will also find many of the resources to help with their programs
and their contract with the EZ.
