ABOUT THE PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The City of New York is investing $1.3M to support recovery in the\u00a033 neighborhoods<\/a>\u00a0hardest hit by COVID-19.\u00a0 This citywide neighborhood coalition initiative is being led by the NYC Taskforce for Racial Inclusion and Equity (TRIE), Civic Engagement Commission (CEC) and Young Men\u2019s Initiative. Residents living, working, or going to school in one of these communities will get to decide how to spend $40,000 of public funds in their neighborhood. These investments will support our communities and contribute to a more fair recovery. The ballot items include projects focused on priority areas identified by residents in each community, including mental health, reducing gun violence, youth programming, and hunger.<\/p>\n

If you want to speak to someone about the program, as it relates to the Canarsie, Flatlands or Coney Island area you can contact\u00a0Southern Community Development Corp at (212)470-6598.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
