Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention OJJDP FY 2008 Gang Prevention Coordination Assistance Program Grant

The goal of the Gang Prevention Coordination Assistance Program is to reduce gang activity in targeted communities through improved coordination of existing resources and activities that support anti-gang strategies. The program seeks to enhance the coordination of existing community-based gang prevention and intervention programs and strategies that are closely aligned with local law enforcement efforts. For example, educational and other programs combined with rigorous law enforcement can effectively combat gang-related juvenile crimes. This grant could be used to increase the level of coordination in that partnership, but only a small amount of funds can be used for supporting direct-service. Because many mentoring programs have an anti-gang focus, these programs may be eligible for this grant.

The estimated total program funding is: $2.4 million.
Approximately 12 grants will be given with an award ceiling of $200,000.
