LOS ANGELES : 2 Innovative Projects to Get $100,000 Grants
Two Los Angeles-area projects, lauded as examples of “government at its best,” will be awarded $100,000 grants from the Ford Foundation tonight at a ceremony honoring creative, local solutions to pressing national problems.
Humanitas, a team-taught model of teaching the humanities to Los Angeles high school students, and a city program that uses computers to automate traffic patterns are among 10 winners of the foundation’s 1992 Innovations in State and Local Government Awards.
Other winners addressed issues such as ground-water pollution, vocational education, welfare reform, refugee services and domestic violence.
