LOS ANGELES
Mayor Jim Hahn today approved the transfer of $50,000 in grant money
to the Armenian Relief Society, to provide support services for
at-risk youth and senior citizens. The motion to transfer the funds
from the Mayor's Urban Development Action Grant was sponsored by
Councilman Eric Garcetti. "I'm thrilled that we can can provide
support for the Armenian Relief Society's mission of working
'jhoghovoordes hamar jhorvordees head,' or 'with the people, for the
people,"' he said. "The people of Hollywood and surrounding areas are
very well-served by ARS' dedication." The funds, originally allocated
to develop a Bellevue Park master plan, became available after the
refurbishment project progressed faster than expected. "In this time
of budget constraints, I am pleased to be able to redirect funds to
where they can do the most good," Hahn said. "This money will help to
improve the quality of life for many people, especially those in
danger of being touched by gang violence."
