Why This Vote Matters
Richmond unanimously accepted a federal grant to enhance youth mentoring services for at-risk youth. The grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will fund the first year of a multi-year demonstration project run by the city's Office of Neighborhood Safety. This means the city can expand its mentoring programs without using local tax dollars. The 6-0 vote (Ritterman was absent) reflects the council's typical strong support for budget items involving external funding.
