OVP Kickback ☀️ Gravois Park
CRCSTL was delighted to participate in the April OVP Kickback hosted in Gravois Park. The St. Louis Office of Violence Prevention (OVP), a division of the St. Louis Department of Public Safety, is working in partnership with the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and Be SMART, an Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund program, to continue gun violence prevention efforts in St. Louis and spread the critical message to community members about secure firearm storage.
The OVP hosted The Gravois Park Kickback on Saturday, April 15, 2023 in St. Louis’s South City. This was a free neighborhood event, providing residents a place to gather for food, music and entertainment. CRCSTL was there to share our services about conflict resolution and promote de-escalation in hopes to prevent violence from escalating. Future events will be hosted in new locations on the third Saturday of every month.
STL City's 12th Ward Unity Event: Bringing Neighborhoods Together
What a great turn out at this community event organized by Alderwoman candidate Tashara T. Earl. STL City’s 12th Ward Unity Event: Bringing Neighborhoods Together focused on presentations on home ownership, community investment, and community mediation. Community organizations and small, local businesses came together with Ms. Earl as she shared with all her hopes and plans for the future of the 12th Ward.
Landlord & Property Management Appreciation and Engagement Event
CRCSTL participated in this bi-annual event hosted by St. Louis Metro Housing Collective (SLMHC). The aim of this group and this event was to build lasting partnerships between St. Louis’ social service community and local landlords, property managers, stakeholders and developers to assist with housing our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Various topics discussed included the financial, social and case management support available, locator demonstrations, landlord/tenant law, and mediation. Also discussed were various housing interventions, including Prevention, Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, Section 8, HUD-VASH and Shelter + Care. SLMHC meets alternating Thursday afternoons and you can find them on Facebook: www.facebook.com/STLMHC
