In September 2018, Cities of Service, a nonprofit organization that helps mayors build stronger cities by changing the way local government and citizens work together, equipped the City of Buffalo with two AmeriCorps VISTAs in the Mayor’s Division of Citizen Services, as well as a budget of $25,000 over two years, to develop the Love Your Block initiative, a volunteer-led neighborhood revitalization projects that address blight. Love Your Block is a program in which volunteer-led community groups compete for a chance to win cash grants up to $1,000, as well as project planning assistance, to beautify and transform a public space in Buffalo. “Through the Love Your Block program, we continue to build an equitable and inclusive city of opportunity by bringing people together, while encouraging community engagement and volunteerism to further improve and beautify our diverse neighborhoods, one block at a time.” “I congratulate all the winners of the Love Your Block mini-grants,” said Mayor Brown.
22 winners were chosen to receive funding of up to $1,000. Brown and the City of Buffalo Division of Citizen Services today announced the second round of winners of the 2019 Love Your Block mini-grants, a program that awards funds to Buffalo neighborhoods for beautification and revitalization projects.
