Neighborhood Partnerships

Neighborhood Partnership efforts in Lyon Park include: the Lyon Park Clinic

Lyon Park emerged early in the 20th century when the West End grew beyond its southern boundary along Morehead Avenue. Many early residents of Lyon Park were African-Americans who worked in tobacco factories and hospitals or as domestics, teachers, merchants and artisans. The neighborhood bounded by Cornell Street, Morehead Avenue, and Lakewood Avenue takes its name from the neighborhood school built in 1929.

The Lyon Park Community Association works to address residents' concerns and has fostered neighborhood clean-ups, a community watch and youth activities.In November 1996, a Durham bond referendum allocated $6.4 million to support the renovation of the old Lyon Park School to create the Calvary Ministries of the West End Community Family Life & Recreation Center. With a variety of partners, the center houses programs such as GED preparation, tutoring, child development services, recreation, senior daycare, summer and after-school youth enrichment, and performing and visual arts opportunities.

Neighborhood Partnership efforts in Lyon Park include: the Lyon Park Clinic – a cooperative effort between Lincoln Community Health Center and Duke’s Community and Family Medicine Department; Project H.O.P.E., playground construction, and neighborhood clean-up and celebration days. Lyon Park is represented in the Southwest Central Durham Quality of Life Committee, facilitated by Mayme Webb-Bledsoe in Duke’s Office of Community Affairs. The grassroots committee’s goals include increasing affordable housing options, celebrating the history of its six neighborhoods, strengthening neighborhood nonprofits and encouraging cooperation among businesses.

Crest Street Community Center

The Crest Street community, formerly known as Hickstown for landowner Hawkins Hicks, retains much of its historic character, though the construction of the Durham Freeway once threatened its existence. The small, closely-knit, predominantly African-American community is just north of the Duke Medical Center and Veterans Administration Medical Center, between Fulton Street, Douglas Street, Erwin Road, and the freeway.

It has a strong community association, the Crest Street Community Council, and is a stable residential community of single-family homes, 98 percent of them owner-occupied. The community association owns and manages the neighborhood's one apartment building and two retirement centers.

Durham Habitat for Humanity has built homes in the neighborhood with the help of the Duke Habitat chapter. Duke University Medical Center donated three homes in 1993 that Habitat renovated as part of a long-term community revitalization strategy.

Crest Street Community Center and Duke’s Project H.O.P.E. work as partners to operate Crest Street Tutorial, an after-school program for youngsters, with funding through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

Walltown Community Association

In the late 1880s, a young African-American named George Wall bought the land to establish Walltown after he moved to Durham with his employer, Trinity College, now Duke University. The neighborhood stands just north of East Campus.Workers moving into Durham for jobs in the tobacco industry rented Walltown’s shotgun houses and cottages into the 1990s, but now home ownership is rising.

Walltownresidents have a tradition of community involvement. For many years,Walltown had its own "mayor" and council, and the successorWalltown Community Association initiated neighborhood revitalization in the 1980s. In 1998, the association received nonprofit status, and it works hard to improve housing, create employment opportunities and solve problems.

The Neighborhood Partnership has helped more than 55 families buy their first homes in Walltown through an affordable housing partnership with the Self-Help Community Development Corporation. As a result, the percentage of homeowners in the neighborhood has risen from 19 percent to 26 percent from 1990 to 2000. The Neighborhood Partnership also works with Walltown Neighborhood Ministries, the St. James Family Life Center, Carter Community Charter School and Walltown Children’s Theatre.

West End Community Center

At what was once the western outskirts of Durham, West End has long been home to factory, construction, Duke University and Veterans Administration Medical Center workers.

The neighborhood south of West Chapel Hill Street between Chapel Hill Road and Arnette Street has a corps of hard-working community leaders who want to revitalize their neighborhood. The West End Community Center grew out of their major efforts to raise funds and identify neighborhood needs.

The center now serves as a community gathering place and hosts an after-school program for neighborhood children and a Teen Focus program for West End teens.

Besides supporting the West End Community Center, the Neighborhood Partnership helped develop the Juanita McNeil-Joseph Alston Teen Center. The neighborhood also benefits from the Technology Program and partnership services at the Lyon Park Community Center, including the Lyon Park Clinic. West End is represented in the Southwest Central Durham Quality of Life Committee, facilitated by Mayme Webb-Bledsoe in Duke’s Office of Community Affairs. The grassroots committee’s goals include increasing affordable housing options, celebrating the history of its six neighborhoods, strengthening neighborhood nonprofits and encouraging cooperation among businesses.

Lincoln Health Clinic

Lincoln Community Health Center is a primary health care facility that has been operating in the Durham community since 1971. The center offers a wide range of health services, including internal medicine, pediatrics, adolescent, dental, behavioral health, and prenatal care. Lincoln is the community clinic that provides care for much of the indigent population of Durham County. The Lincoln Clinic also provides care for a large portion of the rapidly growing Hispanic population in the area.

Junior and senior residents practice in the urgent care area seeing a broad variety of patients and medical problems. While translation services are readily available, Spanish-speaking housestaff receive an opportunity to practice their skills. Junior and senior residents rotate at Lincoln during their ambulatory rotations.
