Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation Awards $10,000 Grant to the Glenwood Neighbors Community Safety Program

Monday, April 1, 2024. 

On Friday, February 9, the Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation awarded a $10,000 grant to the Glenwood Neighbors Community Safety Program.

The safety program will engage residents and business owners in the neighborhoods along Glenwood Avenue in Youngstown in a coordinated effort to prevent crime by using evidence-based practices for crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), including installing lighting and doorbell security cameras on homes, businesses, and in public spaces that are in the vicinity of hotspots of violent crime. YNDC will work with resident leaders, business owners, and the Youngstown Police Department to implement the program.

Many thanks to the Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation!
