As a result of the first three steps, there will emerge a team of residents, municipal, county, school, faith community and health personnel, as well as local community development specialists. This team will form the basis for the FRC's Governing Board. They may be set up in rented, donated or borrowed spaces. They may or may not share facilities with a community-policing substation. The Governing Board is given ultimate authority for approving subcommittee and staff recommendations for hiring decisions.
Volunteers come from the neighborhood and from the greater community.
They come from schools, businesses, and civic and religious organizations. Potential resources are identified and contracted by staff, who then make recommendations to the Governing Board. With staff recommendations, the Governing Board approves the plan and oversees its implementation. The FRC gives residents the opportunity to improve their neighborhoods making them safer and more nurturing for themselves, their children, and their families.
