Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative DSNI) The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) is a nonprofit community-based planning and organizing entity based in the Roxbury/North Dorchester area of Boston. DSNI's approach to neighborhood revitalization is comprehensive (physical, environmental, economic and human). It was formed in 1984 when residents of the Dudley Street area came together out of fear and anger to revive their neighborhood that was nearly devastated by arson, disinvestment, neglect and redlining practices, and protect it from outside speculators. DSNI is the only community-based nonprofit in the country which has been granted eminent domain authority over abandoned land within its boundaries. The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative has grown into a collaborative effort of over 2,700 resident members, businesses, non-profits and religious institutions concerned with revitalizing this culturally diverse neighborhood of 24,000 people and maintaining its character and affordability.
