Philadelphia will pilot a trauma-informed facility for arrested youth [Generocity.org]

 

The City of Philadelphia will begin testing trauma-informed facilities as an alternative to holding cells for arrested youth.
Those facilities, which will be “child-centered” and “service-oriented,” will be funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies’ 2018 Mayors Challenge. Philadelphia’s city-led social enterprise incubator FastFWD was funded by way of the Mayors Challenge in 2013.

The 35 finalists for the 2018 challenge have received grants of “up to $100,000” to test public prototypes of their ideas over a six-month period. In October, four of those 35 finalists will win $1 million to scale their prototypes, and one will win $5 million.
