ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The City of Rochester will be given state funding in an effort to support local programs or services that aim to prevent violence, support mental health, and strengthen youth development.
This comes after Governor Hochul announced a $20 million investment on Tuesday for Project RISE (Respond, Invest, Sustain, Empower). The project aims to strengthen violence prevention, expand opportunities, mental health support, and help keep young people out of the justice system.
This is a part of the “Safer Streets” initiative, which looks to improve 10 communities statewide, including Rochester.
This the third time the state’s given money for RISE funding for seven communities. Each community will get $2 million:
Albany Buffalo Mount Vernon Newburgh Rochester Syracuse YonkersAreas like Hempstead, Troy, and Utica are receiving funding for the first time.
“By focusing on youth development, mental health and community empowerment, the initiatives under Project RISE allow us to break the cycles of disputes, retaliation and incarceration that perpetuate generational trauma and violent crime,” said Rochester Mayor Malik Evans.
A total of 136 organizations are receiving funding through project RISE.
Additionally, Governor Hochul announced the creation of four Transformative Youth Justice Hubs, supported by $4 million in federal funding from the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). She says this is meant to strengthen communities and address the needs of youth statewide.
