亚特兰大 ——2022年6月3日
亚特兰大地区al Commission announced today that it will provide critical planning and technical support to five metro 亚特兰大 communities through the agency’s 社区发展 Assistance Program (CDAP).
的 projects were chosen through a competitive process that solicited proposals from local governments, cid, and non-profits across the 亚特兰大 region. ARC will provide a combination of staffing resources and grants to the selected communities to support a wide range of initiatives that aim to improve quality of life for residents.
In 2022, the program will continue to focus its assistance on advancing community resiliency and social equity in our region to meet our communities’ needs. 除了, as part of ARC’s ongoing efforts to create outcomes that benefit community members that have been disproportionately and negatively impacted by past planning outcomes, ARC has prioritized assistance in 2022 to applications that demonstrate an active partnership between the local government and a Community Based Organization (CBO).
“Planning a bright future for everyone in our region means working to rectify past planning decisions that negatively impacted marginalized communities,Sam Shenbaga说, Managing Director of the 社区发展 Group at ARC. “的se projects will help to work towards that goal by prioritizing equitable, community-based planning processes and outcomes.”
