After Philadelphia set aside $500,000 to relocate residents who were targets of deadly violence, some council members say the victims still haven’t received the money. Now they’re wondering where the money went. DannyEFreeman has the story:
“Five hundred thousand dollars,” city councilman David Oh said during Tuesday’s meeting on gun violence prevention. “Where is the five hundred thousand dollars?”
“From our understanding, part of the money is in the District Attorney’s Office and part of it is in MBO’s office,” Shondell Revell, the executive director of the city’s Office of Violence Prevention, answered. “I can get you that answer. I do not have that answer now,” Revell said. The city said it would get back to the council with a clearer answer. Love, meanwhile, hopes the money will get to the families soon. A spokesperson for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office told NBC10 they received some council funds to help with relocation services but the bulk of their program comes from the state. NBC10 also reached out to the city to find out where the funds are. We have not yet heard back from them.
There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia.
