CCRA Responds to Neighborhood Concerns voiced at Public Safety Meeting
A significant part of CCRA's mission is
to advocate for a safe, clean, diverse, and supportive neighborhood.
Fulfilling this mission was a driving force behind the December 2, 2019
meeting organized by CCRA with the 9th District Police Captain. It was
clear that there was a disconnect between the community and our Ninth
District Police. Homelessness seemed to be ubiquitous and violence was
erupting around too many corners.
Action items resulting from the meeting
were: 1. creation of a member-driven task force to help CCRA focus on
solutions to local issues of violence and homelessness, and 2. CCRA
board voted to send a letter urging Mayor Kenney and City Council to
institute a Focused Deterrence model program to address violent crime.
To read a copy of the letter, click here.
Fourteen members of CCRA met on January
16th as a kick-off to the formation of The CCRA Shared Public Spaces
Task Force. A lively and solutions based conversation ensued. This
group will help guide CCRA in next steps to address both local violence
and homelessness. If you are interested in joining this task force
please contact Travis Oliver, CCRA's Operations Manager.
CCRA is intent on being the "Peopled
Powered Voice of the Community". Please feel free to let us know your
concerns about the functionality of our local government and most
importantly, get involved as we work on creating local solutions to make
Philadelphia an even better place to live, work and play!
