Profile, Statistics and Indicators

Neighborhood Description:	Kennedy Heights Neighborhood includes 104 units of townhouse apartments for families with children. The neighborhood includes small parks, playgrounds, and a busy community center. The neighborhood is on two regular bus-lines and is within close walking distance of the local elementary school and the Cherokee Marsh. Your All Resident Association (YARA) started in 1978 with residents of the Kennedy Heights neighborhood coming together with the hope of fostering a greater sense of community and creating more activities for neighborhood children. By 1986, the neighborhood association had secured funding, built a community center and incorporated as a non-profit agency. The Kennedy Heights Community Center began operating various programs that improved the quality of life of the community residents. Now, second and third additions have been added to the building to meet expanding program needs.
