The goal of the Neighborhood Center and School Age Child and Youth Development funding process was to begin to implement new funding frameworks that better articulate performance expectations for contracted agencies, reflect best practices and community input, and improve transparency in funding structures by more clearly describing expectations for funded agencies. Pursuant to the direction provided in the policy papers, the CDD conducted a funding process to designate city funded neighborhood centers as either Tier 1 or Tier 2 facilities and to allocate Center Support and School Age Child and Youth Development funds accordingly. The $2.47 million will be disbursed among 15 neighborhood centers, with $1.31 million contributing towards neighborhood center support and $1.16 million contributing towards school age child and youth development programs at those neighborhood centers.
