As Philadelphia officials prepare to approve what they say is a historic commitment to anti-violence funding, City Council and Mayor Jim Kenney’s administration are forming a new committee to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-violence grant spending.

The plan follows years of calls for the city to measure the millions it pours into community programs to curb shootings or address root causes.

“Any group applying for violence prevention funding will get the same level of city scrutiny that any applicant already does for any city contract or award,” said Council spokesperson Joe Grace.

Called the Violence Prevention and Opportunity review committee, it will be made up of Council and mayoral appointees. Its members will help decide which organizations get funding, and how much, Grace said.

“We look forward to collaborating with Council on the design of the community grant program, including tools for evaluating the effectiveness,” said Kenney spokesperson Deana Gamble.

Lawmakers are saying next year’s city budget now allocates $155 million in anti-violence spending. That’s more than double the initial spending proposal — but it’s not all new money, as some pre-existing funds have been reclassified as anti-violence


$155 million for violence prevention? :picard:

Why doea all this money needs to be "funneled" through these programs before it gets to the people who need it?

Once you know/understand why, then it'll become crystal clear..

Not enough the city need jobs. Philly is the poorest big city in America. All the jobs are in the suburbs to get away from the taxes. For one they need to rid the city wage tax where they tax people to work and have business in the city. 2. They need to create more economic zones in neighborhoods once dominated by factories. You ever seen in NYC they have commercials zones mostly on every street... Philly has zoning ordinances that doesn't allow that.

It's just a shytty city created and ran by crooks n Democrats who used the poor people here.

Waste of money. Instead take all those people to therapy and teach them how to raise kids
