Family Justice Center (Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence)
Mayor Bloomberg opened the first New York City Family Justice Center in Brooklyn in 2005 to provide a range of centralized services for domestic violence victims.  The overall objective of the Family Justice Center Initiative is to break the cycle of domestic violence by providing essential advocacy, case management and legal and housing assistance under one roof. Services are provided with the involvement of partner agencies including non-profit organizations, City and State agencies, the District Attorney's Office, and faith-based organizations.  Since opening, the Brooklyn center has had over 50,000 clients and their children visit.

Based on the success of the first center, Mayor Bloomberg made the expansion of the Family Justice Center Initiative a central part of his public safety promises for New York City. A second center in Kew Gardens, Queens opened the summer of 2008.  Since opening, the Queens center has already served over 8,000 clients. The Mayor also committed to opening a third Family Justice Center in the Bronx in early 2010. 

NYC Healthy Relationships Training Academy:
In connection with the Family Justice Center Initiative, the Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence administers the NYC Healthy Relationship Training Academy with support from the Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD).  The Academy offers workshops on the topics of dating violence and healthy relationships for adolescents, young adults and parents.  Workshops are held at a variety of organizations, including runaway homeless youth programs, GED and internship programs, Department of Juvenile Justice detention facilities, youth development programs, faith communities, middle schools and high schools.  Workshops are facilitated by trained Peer Educators and encourage discussion and critical thinking about the challenging topic of relationships.  The Academy also offers training for staff members of organizations who work with adolescents and young adults on the topic of dating violence.

Green Carts (Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Office of the Food Policy Coordinator)
The City is committed to expanding the number of green carts providing fresh, high-quality produce in targeted areas throughout New York City. These carts aim to increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in an effort to help prevent diseases including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and other illnesses. One thousand Green Cart permits are being phased in over 2 years with 75 permits for Brooklyn, 175 for the Bronx, 75 for Manhattan, 50 for Queens, and 25 for Staten Island per year. The Mayor's Fund received private support to assist with marketing and promotion of the green carts in the communities where they operate, as well as assistance to vendors with low-interest loans and with produce distribution.

Ready New York Guide (Office of Emergency Management)
Ready New York is the City's educational campaign to encourage New York City residents to prepare for all types of emergencies. Ready New York teaches a universal approach to preparing, based on three guiding principles: knowing the hazards in New York City, making a disaster plan, and stocking emergency supplies. The campaign includes nine multilingual publications, public service announcements, multimedia advertising, extensive web content, a speaker's bureau, a reprinting program, corporate partnerships, and continuous community outreach. This year, Ready New York is leveraging two new guides to focus outreach on NYC's businesses and children. Many of these Ready New York resources are made possible through private donations that allow for printing and increased distribution of publications including Ready New York for Business, an emergency preparedness guide for NYC's businesses.
