The historic Lincoln Park neighborhood of Newark is among the city’s poorest. Since 2004, Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District has organized the neighborhood to win better services and provided renovated housing for residents. The Schumann Fund grant supported LPCCD’s Green Collar Apprenticeship Program, training Newark residents for green collar jobs in the construction industry.
