Hartford will collect nearly $2 million in federal funds to provide summer and year-round jobs to eligible young residents, authorities say.
Capital Workforce Partners, the Blue Hills Civic Association, Mayor Luke Bronin and several members of Connecticut's congressional delegation recently announced the city's receipt of the grant through the U.S. Labor Department's $22 million Connect Young Americans to Jobs grant program.
The Promise Zone YES! grant will provide development, support and employment for 275 youth residing in Hartford's north end during the next two years.
In April, the Clay-Arsenal, Upper Albany and Northeast neighborhoods in the city's North End were designated as a “Promise Zone,” qualifying it to receive the grant, authorities said.
The Blue Hills Civic Association, whose neighborhood borders all or parts of the trio, will be the youth-services provider for the initiative.
