What is CityStart?
The City of Monroe participated in the 2023 CityStart Cohort, an initiative by the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund (CFE Fund) focused on advancing financial mobility and racial wealth equity. Working with community stakeholders, Monroe developed strategies to improve financial stability for Black residents. The program, advised by Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Greenwood Initiative, utilized a racial wealth equity lens to guide its efforts.
