During this period, Richmond Love Your Block awarded 20 mini-grants to residents and organizations for community beautification projects in Richmond. Led by your own neighbors down the street, these projects ranged from community gardens to neighborhood clean-ups. Throughout each project, the Community Services Department and other city departments worked together with residents and community members to provide city services and support.
After completing the Cities of Service grant in 2018, the Community Services Department incorporated Richmond Love Your Block as a program of the department. Today, Richmond Love Your Block continues to support Richmond residents in completing their own beautification projects. As one big team, all of us here in Richmond can beautify our blocks, improve neighborhood safety, and love our community. |  |
