We are currently working closely with Ingersoll residents through a grant received through the Mayor’s Action Plan for Neighborhood Safety (MAP)
15 public housing developments throughout NYC, including Ingersoll Houses, were chosen by the City to model a more comprehensive approach to increasing public safety in the developments – community and government collaborative problem-solving.
Because of our history in engaging community residents, we were selected to spearhead this work. Through June 2019, we will be building a community stakeholder team of 25 to help guide and report on the work (15 of these stakeholders will be Ingersoll residents of various ages, 10 will be community partners and agencies). We will discuss various Ingersoll resident-identified issues and we will create a plan to address these issues.
Any Ingersoll residents interested in serving on the stakeholder team, please attend an upcoming info session on Thursday, April 26th from 6:30pm to 8pm, or Friday, May 4th from 6:30pm to 8pm. Both meetings will be held at the Ingersoll Community Center, 177 Myrtle Avenue. Stakeholder posts, which include attending meetings and trainings on a monthly basis, are stipended positions. For additional information before the info session, please call Shaquana Boykin, MAP Engagement Coordinator (MEC) on the project: 718-230-1689 ext 5#.
The initiative is powered by the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice through the Mayor’s Action Plan for Neighborhood Safety (MAP) in partnership with the John Jay Research Foundation and the Center for Court Innovation.
