On June 30, 2022, Near Eastside Quality of Life lead agencies welcomed over 30 attendees, virtually and in-person, to discuss public safety on the Near Eastside. This summit included a presentation on public safety and health resources for Near Eastside Indy neighbors, a Narcan training, a community-based crime reduction grant update and some general quality of life plan information. Slides for the presentation can be found here.

For anyone who has questions about the Near Eastside Quality of Life plan or who is interested in getting involved with the plan, contact Community Builder Rainie Grant at rgrant@jbncenters.org.
