Clinton Park RISE
The Clinton Park neighborhood is a current focus of RISE.
Clinton Park is a dense neighborhood with timeless housing stock and residents committed to a strong quality of life. This overwhelmingly African American neighborhood is close to many community assets, including Ottawa Park, The University of Toledo, and downtown Toledo. Its proximity to one of the major rail lines running through Toledo has created opportunities to clean up and re-purpose industrial land for the benefit of residents. A mix of long-term homeowners and landlords work hard to move the neighborhood forward. This combination of elements shows great potential for sustainable investment.


Garfield RISE
The Garfield neighborhood is a current focus of RISE.
The Garfield neighborhood is East Toledo's front door. In its small, but mighty footprint sits the Main Street commercial district, the historic Waite High School, the beautiful and growing Glass City Metropark, and a hearty residential neighborhood that is home to hundreds. This neighborhood, also growing in diversity, has an older housing stock that needs ongoing maintenance and a desire for more homeowners who are ready to make a long-term commitment. Its "green necklace" of parks and open space is an extraordinary opportunity, and additional greening and beautification within the residential streets can complement the natural beauty. With the support of East Toledo institutions and community partners, Garfield has a bright future and its residents are ready to take the next step in the revitalization.
