This includes reimagining a vibrant Downtown, enhancing public safety by reducing violence, and improving education to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through these efforts, the grant seeks to improve the quality of life for residents and strengthen communities. The grant prioritizes three key areas: Downtown Comeback, Public Safety, and Education. "Downtown Comeback" focuses on revitalizing downtown D.C. as a dynamic center for living, working, and playing, and positioning the District as a global leader.

Expected outcomes include a more vibrant and active Downtown, a significant reduction in violence, and improved educational outcomes for children, leading to enhanced health and well-being for residents and students. Measurable results will likely be tied to progress in these priority areas, reflecting the grant's contribution to community development and quality of life improvements within the District's African American and LGBTQIA+ communities.
