Why This Vote Matters

The council voted to reopen grant applications for the Department of Children and Youth and extend the deadline to June 1, 2021. This gives local organizations and nonprofits that work with children and youth a second chance to apply for city funding they may have missed when applications were previously open. The council approved this with broad support in a 6-0 vote, with one member absent. This is a routine administrative decision that helps ensure community organizations have adequate opportunity to seek available grant funding.
