| RECOMMENDED FOR PLACING ON FILE
Minutes note: Appeared Angela Mitchell-Reid - Department of City Development (DCD)
She presented the 2025 accomplishments for the Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative (HNI). She explained that the program offers matching grants of up to $4,000 for physical improvements like signage, murals, and community gardens, with the first $1,000 being automatically reimbursed. In 2025, the program approved
$87,200 for 27 projects across seven aldermanic districts, involving 21 partnerships. The budget for 2026 is set at $100,000.
Alderman Chambers questioned the scope of the grants, and Angela Mitchell-Reid clarified that while the program does not fund the purchase of equipment like lawnmowers or stipends for youth workers, it can reimburse for rented equipment and materials like paint. | Pass | 5:0 |
