The National League of Cities has awarded a $20,000 grant to the city of Chelsea as part of its 2025 Advancing Economic Mobility Rapid Grant program.
The initiative, supported by the Gates Foundation, aims to assist municipalities in developing and implementing strategies that facilitate upward economic mobility for their residents.
Chelsea is one of 12 municipalities nationwide to receive funding in 2025, the NLC announced on June 3. The NLC also provides direct assistance, peer learning opportunities, and guidance to award recipients.
The program seeks to empower local leaders to design and scale economic mobility programs that provide residents with access to essential services as well as employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
