About the Good Neighborhoods Technical Assistance Center
The University of Michigan School of Social Work’s Good Neighborhoods Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is a principal partner of the Skillman Foundation’s Good Neighborhoods(GN), providing technical assistance to the Foundation, community residents, community stakeholders and Good neighborhoods partners. The TAC employs a multi-level technical assistance strategy, which focuses on cross-neighborhood and neighborhood-specific technical assistance and response to the needs of the Skillman Foundation and the overall initiative. The intent and purpose of our technical assistance is to build capacity to sustain community change and inform the change process.
