Neighborhood Center Partner Program

 

In 2008, the City took a bold step towards preserving the safety and accessibility of the Department’s recreation facilities in the face of budgetary challenges. San José City Council responded to these challenges by passing the Community Center Reuse Policy (Council Policy 7-12), which set the framework for the Department’s Facility Reuse Program.

2021 Neighborhood Center Partner Program RFQ Pre-Proposal Workshop on January 14, 2021

The program’s goal was to establish partnerships with community service providers to maintain services at the Department’s recreation facilities. This was achieved by offering agencies non-exclusive use of centers at no cost in exchange for services primarily benefiting San José residents. Neighborhood Centers are those facilities, formerly known as “Reuse Sites,” that are available for community-based organizations to provide programming and services. 

The Department is now working toward revitalizing and rebranding our program with goals that extend beyond just maintaining services at our Neighborhood Centers, and instead the Department seeks to increase public access and provide quality programming, high priority services and resources at our Neighborhood Centers across San José. The “Facility Reuse Program” has been re-branded as the “Neighborhood Center Partner Program” (“NCPP”) to recognize that the strength of the program is determined by our community-based partners that provide services at our neighborhood-based facilities.
