Description
Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )
Existing Examples of Progress: Resident stipends through re-granted funds: One foundational partner redirected part of a $10,000 and $3,000 micro-grant into direct stipends for residents. This ensured more grassroots voices were included, though it reduced CBO staff participation in long-term feedback loops.
Region: San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles
