City Hall met with community organizations who had previously struggled to submit applications for capital project funding assistance and offered them guidance for future applications. The City will continue to do so as needed.
Statement from Source Document / POA
The City will meet with and advise other nonprofits in the area that are looking to acquire and renovate spaces to build out their community programming. This includes nonprofits like the YMCA, BHALO, Venture House, and the Afrikan Poetry Theater. Where there is a nexus with affordable housing or supportive housing, the City will also facilitate connections to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
