MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES MINI GRANT TO SUPPORT MY BROTHER'S KEEPER INITIATIVE

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES MINI GRANT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT CITY'S MY BROTHER'S KEEPER INITIATIVE, RELEASES 'MAPPING MOMENTUM' REPORT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ROOT CAUSE
City's New Director of MBK, Conan Harris, Tasked with Leading MBK Boston
BOSTON - Saturday, August 20, 2016 - Leading up to the two year anniversary of the launch of My Brother's Keeper (MBK) Boston, Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the launch of a mini grant program designed to help maximize MBK's impact in improving outcomes for young people of color. The $100,000 mini grant program is being launched in partnership with The Boston Foundation.

"In Boston, we are proud of our national leadership over the last two years in My Brother's Keeper," said Mayor Walsh. "When Boston decided to answer the call from President Obama, we showed our city's commitment to build on our collective strengths, and expand opportunities for young men of color. Together we will make Boston a city where every single child has real opportunity to reach his or her potential."

"The Boston Foundation is proud that the Obama administration chose our city to help expand and localize its 'My Brother's Keeper' initiative," said Paul S. Grogan, President and CEO of the foundation. "We are also proud to contribute $25,000 to 'My Brother's Keeper Boston.' And we have committed an additional $25,000 from The Boston Foundation's Grassroots Action Fund to support good ideas and effective programs that arise from MBKB. We at the Boston Foundation appreciate the value of small-dollar contributions and believe strongly that our partnership with this local effort will see meaningful and positive change in the lives of thousands of young men of color who have been stymied by persistent opportunity gaps."

During a celebration held at the Bolling Building, Mayor Walsh joined leadership from Root Cause to announce the release of a report, 'Mapping Momentum', that outlines recommended strategic priorities to improve life outcomes for Black and Latino boys and young men based on a scan of 142 surveyed nonprofits in the city. The report maps the landscape of programs and organizations serving Black and Latino youth, assessing both strengths and opportunities for improvement. The report is the result of a joint collaboration between the City of Boston, Root Cause and Dr. James Jennings.

Key findings from the report include:
  • There are hundreds of organizations and programs collectively serving approximately 40,000 Black and Latino boys across Boston;
  • There is a need and opportunity to strategically coordinate these programs to build off the assets that Boston has in place;
  • MBK Boston's explicit focus on Black and Latino young men is well-positioned to provide a central anchor point around its three target milestones:
    • Graduating from high school ready for college and career
    • Successfully entering the workforce
    • Reducing youth violence and providing a second chance
"The report underscores the need to re-evaluate the way we deliver supports and services for these young men and correctly puts pressure on us to coordinate so that we can achieve better results," said Andrew Wolk, co-author of the report and the Founder and CEO of Root Cause.  "We believe that it is particularly well timed, given Mayor Walsh's commitment to the successful implementation of My Brother's Keeper (MBK) in Boston; we hope, in fact, that the report serves as a roadmap."

To lead this important effort, Mayor Walsh announced that Conan Harris will serve as the Director of MBK Boston, in addition to his current roles as the Deputy Director of Public Safety Initiatives in the Office of Public Safety. As the Director of MBK Boston, Harris will be responsible for working across city agencies, partners within the private and public sectors, as well as community-based organizations to support the development of our youth. As Deputy Director of Public Safety Initiatives, Harris has successfully strengthened the employment pipeline and mentorship opportunities for proven risk youth to better support their academic, professional and life success.

"I have tremendous confidence in Conan based on the fantastic work he has done in our Office of Public Safety," said Mayor Walsh. "His experience in strengthening ties across agencies and institutions to better serve and provide opportunities for our underserved youth make him a great fit for the role. Above all, his passion for My Brother's Keeper, and for helping positively shape the lives of our youth will help drive this important initiative forward."

Black and Latino boys and young men are a constituency of growing significance in Boston, representing more than half (52 percent) of all of Boston's males age 24 and under - a little more than 55,000 people - and more than two-thirds (67 percent) of all males age 17 and under.

Since being launched in Boston nearly two years ago, MBK Boston has already achieved significant success in areas, such as:

波士頓最貴住家 3500萬元賣了

波士頓,甚至紐英崙最昂貴的私人住宅單位,3500萬元賣了。
那是座落於城中心新建千禧年大樓(Millennium Tower),佔地13,000平方呎的60頂樓。
Curbed Boston表示,他們頗確定,以私人住宅來說,3500萬元一戶,大概是紐英崙地區最貴的價格了。
買家一如早前預期,是 John Grayken,來自Cohasset的一名私募基金億萬富翁。他雖然買下了這棟在地平面之上625呎的屋子,卻很可能不見得自己會去住,或許會出租。

這戶頂層閣樓房,原本要價3750萬元。現在售價3500 元,意味著John Grayken砍價250萬元。
