In 2005, two members of the West Sacramento city council requested that the Community Development Graduate Group do an interactive study of the Bryte and Broderick neighborhoods with the intention of promoting healthy and safe activities for youth in these neighborhoods. Under the leadership of Professor Ted Bradshaw, the Community Development graduate group committed to studying the Bryte and Broderick neighborhoods for 3 years, through the capstone course, CRD 440: Professional Skills in Community Development, typically taken by 2nd year graduate students. The following materials are the results of this ongoing relationship between UC Davis and the neighborhoods of Bryte and Broderick.
During the Winter Quarter of 2006, CRD 440 students acted as a virtual consulting firm, creating an assets-based community assessment of the Bryte and Broderick neighborhoods. The thirteen graduate students interviewed over 100 community members, created an inventory of community services, and compiled and analyzed economic and demographic data. The resulting report and executive summary
formed a basis for all future 440 work in West Sacramento, and included concrete recommendations for city officials, residents, and other concerned community members, as well as appendixes on model city and community programs in similar neighborhoods through the country.
