    MAYOR JOSEPH M. BUTLER, JR. AND


    UNITED WAY OF NORTHERN NEW YORK
    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BOB GORMAN
    ANNOUNCE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO FUND PROJECTS

    Today, the City of Watertown issued a Request for Proposals to fund projects that will
    help reduce poverty in the City.
    The request comes near the culmination of Phase I of the Empire State Poverty
    Reduction Initiative (ESPRI) which provides the City in excess of $800,000 to spend on
    projects. The 16-city initiative was announced last year by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
    Mayor Joseph M. Butler, Jr. selected the United Way of NNY to administer the grant.
    The United Way in turn hired Peter Schmitt as its ESPRI director.
    The projects were approved by an 80-member task force that spent the past six months
    studying ways to reduce poverty in Watertown.
    Projects that will be funded are:
    Bridges out of Poverty, which will train mentors regarding the effects of poverty,
    and fund Getting Ahead, a 16-week course for people in poverty to teach them how
    to help themselves to a better future.
    Wheels to Work, which will provide vehicles to residents who have jobs, but lack
    personal transportation.
    Pathway to Home Ownership, which will refurbish six to eight homes that could
    eventually be owned by people who have a job but cant afford a mortgage.
    Employee Resource Network, which will help train employers how to keep employees
    who have trouble doing their jobs due to the poverty and chaos in their lives.

    Information about how the ESPRI process was conducted can be found on the Watertown
    ESPRI website at http://espri.unitedway-nny.org/
    The RFP form is available at http://espri.unitedway-nny.org/rfp-program
    The RFP committee will review the RFPs and submit them to the Task Force for final
    approval.
    For additional information, please contact Bob Gorman at the United Way at 315-788-
    5631.
