Measure X youth program funding and Crown Heights equity
Summary
The council awarded $714,470 to 14 youth programs, but Deputy Mayor Joyce argued Crown Heights — the city's poorest neighborhood — got underfunded after-school programs and pushed an amendment to fully fund Lifeline's requests. It didn't pass, and Joyce asked the council to revisit youth funding holistically in the fall.
