ATTENTION: Funding Process for Organizations/Programs (UPDATE)
We are following up on this post concerning the NYCC budget process. Please note that the deadline for expense funding from Council Member Letitia James was March, 31, 2009. Please do not send us your applications at this time. You may still apply for capital funding, as that deadline is April 24, 2009 (we may move this date up 3-4 days prior to April 24th to ensure that all paperwork is completed in time for financial analysis; in such case, we will update this blog with most current information).
The forms that would be necessary to fill-out for capital funding are available on the City Council's website:
http://council.nyc.gov/html/budget/fy2010_funding_application.shtml
Full instructions are also available at that website. Please get the applications to our City Hall office (Attention: Kate Suisman) as soon as you can, so that we can let you know if anything is missing or needs to be clarified. Please remember that submitting an application for funds does not guarantee that you will receive funding. After the City budget is passed in late June, our office will send letters to groups that receive funding.
Thank you for the work you do in our communities.

Crown Heights Re-entry Fair: Follow Up
Re-Entry Resource Fair
"Re-adjusting within the community for formerly incarcerated individuals is often a difficult experience. It is argued that they do not receive adequate facilities during their time in prison to equip them upon their release. The goal of the fair was to assist formerly incarcerated people to rehabilitate them into society in order for successful integration into the community."- Council Member Letitia James
The Re-Entry Resource fair for formerly incarcerated individuals and their families took place on November 22nd at Calvary Community Church in Crown Heights. It produced a great turnout, and many formerly incarcerated individuals were assisted on issues concerning housing, legal advocacy, counseling, family services, education, employment and career development, medical services, substance abuse treatment, and spiritual resources. Channel 12 were on hand to cover the event, and interviewed both Council Member James and individuals from Crown Heights Mediation Center, who were working closely with our office to ensure that the event was a success.
