Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. PB gives people real power to make real decisions over real money.
Based on the voting results and project rankings using a ranked-choice voting methodology, the PBGR Steering Committee formally adopted twelve projects. This request for proposals is in response to three of these twelve projects which would address the “public health and economic impacts” as defined in the ARPA methodology: Affordable Daycare Services, Mental Health Community First Responders, and Community Based Violence Reduction initatives
