The Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT) is a collaboration between City departments and partner agencies, led by the Office of Innovation and Economic Development and the Planning Division. NDAT is committed to ensuring Sacramento’s neighborhoods and commercial districts reflect a sustainable, resilient and inclusive economy. By facilitating equitable investments and resources from the City and its partner agencies, NDAT will increase the quality of life and economic growth of people, businesses and places in Sacramento’s historically disenfranchised and disinvested neighborhoods.

The Neighborhood Development Action Team is guided by the following principles in our work:

  • Capacity Building and Ownership (Anti-Displacement). We focus on actions that increase community ownership and strengthen people, business, or place capacity in order to reduce racial, social, health, and economic disparities for historically underserved and underrepresented communities and increase their quality of life, leading to a thriving and growing economy.
  • Collaboration. We are partners with our residents, businesses, landowners, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, non-profits, outside agencies, fellow City employees, and elected leaders. We seek to understand what is needed in our neighborhoods and build an atmosphere of mutual support and trust. We strive to break down silos and communicate well within and outside the City to reduce fragmentation and redundancy.
  • Inclusion and equity. In all we do, we recognize our role is to include and support the communities who have been underrepresented and direct resources towards our Priority Neighborhoods.
  • Outcomes-oriented. We are focused on actions that positively and measurably improve outcomes in the City’s Priority Neighborhoods, especially where they intersect with commercial corridors, transit stations, and transit corridors. We will work on a range of solutions, from simple to innovative, and challenge the status quo where it is inequitable.
