[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But how is that possible? The Council gave us:

Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE), created to address violence in the District while assisting grieving and trauma-stricken families. Funded in 2024 at $31 million

Office of Gun Violence, which houses the Building Blocks program launched in 2021. Since then, that program has granted $2.6 million to individuals and [b]community organizations via “mini-grants” of $5,000 and “mini-plus” grants of $15,000 to fight violence in targeted neighborhoods. In fiscal 2024, the program has awarded 12 mini-grants and 16 mini-plus grants totaling $300,000[/b]. The $88 million Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services earmarks nearly $70 million for youth and family programs.

It would be interested to know what the grants were used for and what the outcome was from it. I could easily see that money going to people and then being used on anything vs it's intended purpose.

Yes, I would too, as the Mayor just announced a fresh, new round in her recent newsletter.[/quote]
