Hunting Park Green is selected as one of City’s Overdose Prevention & community Healing Fund recipients
Community Healing Fund would enable us to creatively deepen our community engagement efforts in Hunting Park. To make our community safer, healthier and more powerful.
Our neighborhood's civic muscle will be strengthened through focused beautification efforts and organizing. In addition, The Community Healing Fund allows us to initiate and establish an approach that emphasizes recovery, trauma healing, and personal wellness for the intergenerational resident activists we work with, as a foundation to the civic action they are already involved in or that we'll be inviting them into.
