Mayor Thomas M. Menino this week announced that Boston will receive approximately $15 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Boston area will receive $14,564,600 through the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) and an additional $1,420,875 through the Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP). The grants are awarded to promote effective and efficient prevention, response, and recovery strategies against potential terrorism and catastrophic events. The Mayor’s Office of Emergency Preparedness worked closely with members of Boston’s national congressional delegation to secure the funding.
“These critical funding sources will help our public safety officials ensure that the Boston area continues to be in the best possible position to prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies,” Mayor Menino said. “I’m grateful for the support of our congressional delegation in securing this funding to keep the people of Boston safe.”
“I commend the Department of Homeland Security and Mayor Menino for all they’re doing to ensure that Boston is well-prepared for the threats we face,” Senator Edward M. Kennedy said. “These funds are vital to the City, our residents and the courageous first responders who protect us all.”

Today's event, held at Madison Park High School in Roxbury, drew seven servicers, eight non-profit housing organizations, and more than 200 homeowners.
"We're working hard to provide Boston's struggling homeowners with resources to help them stay in their homes," said Mayor Menino. "We know we cannot prevent all future foreclosures, because every situation is different. But we now know from experience that these workshops are a unique opportunity to talk with your lender face-to-face and see what can be done. We hope to be able to help even more people this year."
Saturday's Workshop was attended by nearly 250 residents who were able to meet with representatives from seven national mortgage servicers and 12 local non-profit organizations.
Today's workshop is the City's second; in March of 2008 Mayor Menino hosted a similar workshop in which five national servicers participated and nearly 100 Boston residents attended. At that time, Boston was among the few cities across |
