Mayor Bibb said he used recommendations from the Cleveland community to set priority areas for investments.
The internal policy team tasked with carrying out the plan, the Center for Economic Recovery, said it has been progressing in its strategic process to ensure that Cleveland invests this funding in a “transformational, sustainable, ethical and equitable” way.
Inclusive Recovery/Housing for All - $195 millionViolence Prevention and Safety - $30 millionLead Safe Cleveland - $17 million* This amount is intended to come from one-time funds in the General Fund. According to a press release from the city, these numbers are estimates and subject to change as several of the priority areas may have overlapping success measures, share initiatives, or require less or more funding than anticipated.
“We must think creatively and strategically about how we allocate these funds,” said Mayor Bibb. “My administration is focusing on initiatives that will set a foundation for long-term, tangible impact for the residents of Cleveland. These allocations allow us to maximize the use of federal funds in the areas that our community identified as their priorities.”
The release also stated that this Rescue and Transformation Plan also “provides a strong framework for the city to be prepared to compete for additional funding from a variety of sources.”
