Mayor's 10.01: Transformation in 10 Initiative
The 10.01 Transformation in Ten initiative is a data driven, community-led, collaborative effort to reduce poverty in Durham Communities. The Goal of the 10.01 initiative is to leverage resources to reduce poverty- neighborhood by neighborhood, year by year. The task forces focus on six strategic directions: Health, Housing, Education, Finance, Public Safety and Jobs.

Neighbor Spotlight is a program offered by the City of Durham to recognize residenst who have gone above and beyond to improve Durham communities. The spotlight will recognize a resident or group of residents, each month, who have gone above and beyond the normal responsibilities of Durham residents for their communities.
The Community Engagement team works with residents to improve the appearance of their communities and positively impact the neighborhoods on several different levels: aesthetic beautify, safety and erosion control. We do this through beautification projects, neighborhood cleanups and safety assessments.
These efforts can include Bull City Play Streets. Play Streets close neighborhood streets to traffic, and open that space to the community to encourage physical activity. They offer a high-impact approach to encouraging and increasing physical activity, particularly in neighborhoods that lack sufficient open space and activity.
