Community Emergency Preparedness Grant Awardees
In the February 2019 Grants Process, the City received 32 applications from 28 individual neighborhood groups, requesting $44,000 against the $20,000 grant budget. The applications came from across the City and included a wide range of creative ideas for projects to strengthen community ties and improve neighborhood emergency preparedness. Please see below for more information on the submitted and accepted projects.
