OUR MISSION
The Millennium Place Neighborhood
Networks Center provides underserved individuals in the Muncie community
with access to the transformative power of technology.
We believe that technology
has the power to:
• Enable economic self-sufficiency & generational stability
• Mobilize and engage citizens in public service & civic
activities
• Enrich lives through social networking
• Improve quality of life
• Resolve socioeconomic, cultural, and political inequities;
and
• Connect families and friends

ABOUT
THE CENTER
In 1995, the U.S. Department
of Housing Urban Development (HUD) had a vision. Create an initiative
that would accomplish two goals-promote self-sufficiency and deliver
computer access to low and moderate income residents living in privately
owned HUD-insured and assisted multi-family housing.
|
|
|
The result of this vision
was the Neighborhood Networks Initiative, and since its creation more
than a decade ago, Neighborhood Networks has connected residents to
infinite opportunities.

THE
NEED FOR NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS
To understand why Neighborhood
Networks is important, it is important to first understand how employment
skills, access to technology, and academic achievement effect one's
level of self-sufficiency and future success. Consider in school; more
academic opportunities; better peer relations and emotional adjustments;
and lower incidences of drug use, violence, and pregnancy.
When creating Neighborhood Networks, HUD took all of these factors into
considerations and developed an initiative that provides residents with
access to:
• Computer technology
that increases exposure to employment opportunities, improve academic
performance, and enhances communication.
• Educational and job-training programs that enhance their skills
so they can take advantage of employment and homeownership opportunities.
• Healthcare information and other social services that improve
the quality of life for themselves and their families.
