CAPES COMMUNITY AND PARTNERS OF EAST SALEM
The Neighborhood Partnership (NP) Program is a collaborative process that engages stakeholders to work
together to identify and address issues in specific neighborhood areas. Stakeholders include schools,
churches, community groups, City of Salem and anyone interested in livability of the neighborhood area.
CaPES is open to supporting any
neighborhoods with schools that feed
to McKay High School. 2014
participants represent the ELNA, NOLA
and Lansing Neighborhood Areas
PROGRAM HISTORY
In 1997, in response to
an increased need for
social services in the
South East Salem
Neighborhood
Association (SESNA)
area, the City in
conjunction with area
stakeholders, formed a
Steering Committee.
Over the years, the
structure has changed,
but the Partnership
Program still serves to
solicit neighborhood
input, guide the
process, set goals and
coordinate a variety of
efforts to improve
neighborhood livability.
In January 2011, the
City restructured this
program to a “Rotating
Partnership” model
giving it the flexibility to
impact multiple areas of
Salem within the
existing budget. In
addition, the new
structure allows the City
to reevaluate each year
that support is going to
neighborhood areas
with a combination of
the highest need and
readiness.
EAST LANCASTER NEIGHBORHOOD AREA CHOSEN
Applications are scored based upon demonstrated neighborhood need, definable measurable goals for the
NP and readiness of partners to work with the City in addressing those needs. The East Lancaster
3
Neighborhood Association (ELNA) Area was chosen as the first Rotating Partnership for January 2011 through
December 2012. East Lancaster Neighborhood Area neighbors and partners organized an agenda-setting
team, held regular monthly meetings and formed two project groups. The focus of one was to publicize
Partnership Efforts and free resources and the other organized free activities for kids. A wide variety of
community partners contributed countless hours and resources to the betterment of the area.
THE PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS TO THE NORTH
Partners from this group applied and were granted a second term
of Partnership Support (2013-2014). Strengths of the group’s
application included examples of the impressive community
building work and excellent partnering they had demonstrated over
the past two years as well as their goal of expanding their
boundary. The group is open to supporting any neighborhoods
with schools that feed to McKay High School. North Lancaster
Neighborhood Association (NOLA) neighbors showed an immediate
interest in being involved and received immediate support in
starting a new community garden in their previously undeveloped Brown Road Park. In 2013, CaPES also
completed an operational document in order to move into a collaborative relationship with Salem Leadership
Foundation increasing capacity to connect neighbors and strengthen East Salem Neighborhoods.
THE PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS TO INCLUDE THE EAST
Neighbors and partners in the Lansing Area formed their own Neighborhood Partnership in January 2012.
The group reapplied for an additional two years of support from the City of Salem, but the Edgewater
Neighborhood in West Salem ultimately received an overall higher score. While Lansing was not selected to
continue receiving direct support from the City, many wanted to continue efforts to strengthen the Lansing
neighborhood. Since CaPES is open to supporting all neighborhoods in the McKay High feeder area (which
includes both Washington Elementary and Waldo Middle School in the Lansing Neighborhood), a number of
Lansing partners ultimately decided to become involved in CaPES, forming a Lansing Action Team within that
group that continues to be active in building community in the Lansing Area.
THE PARTNERSHIP EXPANDS FURTHER
Partners from this group applied and were granted a second term of Partnership Support (2015-2016). For
their 3rd term the group added an objective to support the installation of Little Free Libraries. These small,
cabinet sized libraries could go anywhere and everyone is encouraged to take or leave a book. None existed
in East Salem and the group decided it was a great opportunity to support literacy and community shared
space. CaPES put together some resources. Four were installed in 2015 and three more in progress. In
addition in 2015, some Northgate partners began participating in CaPES, forming a Northgate Action Team.
The total value of the increased civic activity and positive connections made due to Partnership efforts in the
CaPES Area is incalculable. Benefits, which can extend beyond the boundary of the Partnership area, include tool
development, community connections, lessons learned and projects that can be replicated in other neighborhoods.
Contents
The pages that follow outline Partnership efforts in this area over the last
three years as well as indicators of community change for the ELNA, NOLA
and Lansing Neighborhood Areas such as shifts in homeownership versus
rental housing, changes in demographics, crime trends and park vandalism.
The direct impact Partnership efforts have had on these indicators of
community change is difficult to conclude.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS
Anyone who lives, works, or own property in Salem is a member of at least one Neighborhood Association (NA). Each
volunteer run group is unique,. Generally, a board elected by the NA membership meets regularly to address local issues and
concerns and improve their neighborhoods. NAs involve residents in local decision-making that affects their neighborhood.
Associations also consider and advise on issues like City budget, park improvements, land use, transportation, and crime
prevention, and may organize neighborhood activities. City staff provides support and information to the NAs.

Each year on the evening of the first Tuesday in August, neighbors are encouraged to turn on outside lights and spend the

1983, it is an event celebrated in all 50 states, US territories, military bases worldwide and many Canadian cities. Numbers
below reflect total parties registered with the Salem Police Department and unregistered parties.
