Mark Chupp, an assistant professor of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and faculty associate of the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development, is also director of the East Cleveland Partnership, a community group that's helping to revitalize East Cleveland and was featured as part of the Cleveland Plain Dealer commentary "Fairfax and East Cleveland want to grow, prosper with University Circle" by Tonya Sams on April 12, 2012.
"University Circle is the fastest growing job center in Ohio," said East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton. With University Circle flourishing, the adjacent city of East Cleveland and the Fairfax neighborhood in Cleveland want to improve and grow with it. Partnerships are being strengthened and developed in the Greater University Circle area.

On The Road Ahead: Cleveland
CBC News journalist Paul Hunter recently visited Cleveland to investigate how the city is combating the ongoing foreclosure crisis. Hunter met with Gus Frangos, president of the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Corporation (often known as the Land Bank), who illustrated the severity of the situation with a map showing the more than 15,000 properties in Cleveland suffering foreclosure, generated with data from the Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development's NEO CANDO (Northeast Ohio Community and Neighborhood Data for Organizing).
