Project name: ARC Community Kitchen
Requestor name: ARC XVI, FT. Washington, Inc.
Requestor address: 4111 Broadway, New York, NY 10033
Amount requested: $400,000
Project/Request location: 516 West 181 Street, New York, NY 10033
Project summary: The funding would be used to build a new kitchen for the ARC XVI Fort Washington Senior Center, which is being relocated to 516 West 181 Street, New York, NY 10033. The build-out of the new space does not include the kitchen. For the past 48 years ARC has provided home-cooked meals from our community kitchen for older adults 60+. They have also cooked take-home meals for seniors who are unable to leave their homes. In addition, they will expand to serving breakfasts, as well as continuing their weekly food pantry. The kitchen in their previous space has been used as a classroom to teach seniors to prepare nutritionally sound meals that require limited cooking, to support the desire of older adults to remain healthy and independent in the community.
Project name: Bronx Digital Equity Coalition
Requestor name: The Bronx Foundation, Inc.
Requestor address: 557 Grand Concourse, Suite 3 #125, Bronx, NY 10451
Amount requested: $650,000
Project/Request location: same as requestor
Project summary: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted significant disparities in the education, health, and wellbeing of Bronx residents. Technology and connectivity were problematic before the pandemic began. Limited access during the pandemic exacerbated issues of equity and inclusion, specifically in the areas of economic growth and education. Almost 40% of Bronx residents still do not have access to high-speed internet. This project will establish and build the capacity of The Bronx Digital Equity Coalition (BDEC), a community-led and owned model to build broadband infrastructure. An investment in broadband will drive recovery not only during emergence from COVID-19, but position Bronx neighborhoods well into the future. Grant funds will cover assessment activities and partnership cultivation. BDEC will be an independent entity with its own legal structure and include representation from residents with the goal of preserving and enhancing community digital infrastructure.

Project name: Bronx Recovery Corps at Lehman College
Requestor name: Lehman College, City University of New York
Requestor address: 250 Bedford Park Blvd West, Bronx, NY 10468
Amount requested: $250,000
Project/Request location: same as requestor
Project summary: The Bronx Recovery Corps at Lehman College (BRC) in its pilot semester of operation has matched 36 Lehman College students with small businesses, nonprofits, and public institutions to assist with the economic recovery of the Bronx due to COVID-19. BRC student fellows earn a living wage of $17/hr. for 10 hours per week, contribute to the Bronx community recovery, and are enrolled in a course that allows them to earn academic credit and progress towards graduation. BRC Fellows learn about existing industries & organizations in the Bronx, gain valuable career skills, such as teamwork, communication, leadership, problem solving/critical thinking, and cultural fluency. This request will support 25 students with part-time wages for the next academic year as they support the economic recovery and revitalization in the Bronx due to COVID-19, a BRC coordinator to administer the program to 50 students, ongoing workshops, virtual programming and additional summer internships that would occur before the end of FY2022. When taxpayers support higher education programs, college education becomes more attainable for students. By connecting students' academic progress to training and a Bronx Recovery Corps fellowship, Lehman College is building a network of employers and trained and well-qualified students who will be equipped with the soft skills to obtain gainful employment upon graduation, stay employed in the Bronx and contribute to the economic recovery of this great borough.

Requestor address: 630 West 168th Street, New York, NY 10032
Amount requested: $750,000
Project/Request location: same as requestor
Project summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on residents of the 13th Congressional district. Higher rates of mental disorders have worsened gaps in mental health services for vulnerable communities. It is critical to increase access to timely, effective, culturally relevant mental health care among community members. The Columbia COVID-19 Northern Manhattan Community Mental Wellness Corps (CmwC) will address this mental health disparities crisis in Northern Manhattan and parts of the Bronx by building capacity and increasing community employment opportunities, either directly or through addressing the community mental health needs. Informed by our work in Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood, and low-resource settings in the US and abroad, CmwC will provide training and increase access to mental health services by partnering with churches and trusted community-based organizations. Columbia's Department of Psychiatry is the #1 ranked psychiatry program in New York State, making us ideally suited to lead this project. CmwC will create model of community-based mental health service delivery replicable in other distressed communities in the US.

Project name: Inwood 10th Avenue Safety Improvements
Project sponsor: New York City Department of Transportation
Project location: 10th Avenue from Nagle Avenue to West 218th Street, and Dyckman Street, New York, NY.
Amount requested: $11,203,000
Project summary: This project is comprised of eight sites in both the Inwood and Fort George neighborhoods. In Inwood, there are five sites located along 10th Avenue, from Nagle Avenue to West 218th Street. There are additional two sites on Dyckman Street, one at the intersection of Dyckman Street and Harlem River Drive, and the second at Dyckman Street and Nagle Avenue. In Fort George, there will be several improvements constructed at the intersection of Fort George Hill, Fort George Ave, and St. Nicholas Avenue. The project has multiple sites along six critical intersections in Inwood and Fort George that will receive design interventions such as curb extensions, sidewalk widenings, slip lane closures and expanded public space to ensure a calmer, safer streetscape. In addition to these targeted intersections, this project will also build out bus bulbs at eight bus stop facilities along the M100 bus route along 10th Avenue and along Dyckman Street, which will establish a safer and more efficient public transit user experience. Finally, this project will implement El-Space urban design treatments along the 10th Avenue and Nagel Avenue corridors, where the 1 train runs elevated above the street.

Project name: Reconstruction of Grand Concourse Phase 5
Project sponsor: New York City Department of Transportation
Project location: Grand Concourse from East Fordham Road to East 198th Street, Bronx, NY.
Amount requested: $10,012,000
Project summary: The fifth phase of the reconstruction of the Grand Concourse will extend a suite of capital improvements to the corridor from East Fordham Road (the northern limit of Phase 4) to East 198th Street. The Phase 5 project area contains two Vision Zero Priority Corridors – the Concourse itself and East Kingsbridge Road – and exhibits a quantifiable need for safety improvements. Within the project limits, 15.8 persons were killed or severely injured per mile from 2012 to 2016, ranking these segments in the top third of all Bronx corridors during that period. The Phase 5 project scope includes resurfacing of the main line and extensive reconstruction of both the service roads and medians on Grand Concourse between East Fordham Road and East 198th Street. A series of raised, planted medians and other enhancements will be implemented on the Concourse, including pedestrian safety islands on the main line, grade-separated bicycle facilities, stop-controlled slip lanes, bollards, and standard street lighting. Additional pedestrian safety infrastructure will be constructed at select locations off of the Concourse – on East Kingsbridge Road and Valentine Avenue – including curb extensions, new sidewalks, and pedestrian refuge islands. This package of improvements will bring Grand Concourse to a state of good repair, address the corridor's unsafe roadway conditions, reduce travel delays, and greatly improve livability for the residents of several disadvantaged neighborhoods adjacent to the project limits.
