Community Participation Program

The City introduced the Community Participation Program (CPP) for neighborhood organizations.

It funded the work of neighborhood organizations.

Funds were used to:

  • Influence City decisions on plans, policies, procedures, programs and services.
  • Increase involvement in civic and community life.

The City allocated at least $3,000,000 per year for this work.
