Quality Of Life As A Right

Quality Of Life As A Right means that no one shall be deprived of the right to live peacefully with one another within the City Of Youngstown. This right, embedded within Reclaiming Our Identity, is particular focused around the work to gather, engage, and empower the people for the purpose of influencing the laws that govern us, to have proper respect and support,  for and from, the safety forces that serve and protect our City. A pride in our city leads to more and more residents happily working to improve our own neighborhoods. 

  • Community Safety Funds will make available resources and real-time help for  community-based organizations to enroll, sustain and scale their essential, lifesaving work of restoring our neighborhoods.

  • Strengthening our frontline community “foot soldiers” to do the work of restoring neighborhoods through committed and well-resourced, Block Watches, Neighborhood Associations and Community Groups.

  • Deeper investment, by both City Hall and us all, in the areas of Code Enforcement, Renter Rights / Landlord Education and Quality of Life Standards/Commitments, and local Home Ownership education and initiatives.

Reclaiming Our Identity leads to a unified commitment to a quality of life that we no longer have to debate about. The right to safely walk down our streets, our sidewalks and in our own neighborhoods can no longer be a sentiment. It must be the standard.
