Project Safe Neighborhood Grants

 

Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is designed to create and foster safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction in violent crime, including, but not limited to, addressing criminal gangs and the felonious possession and use of firearms. The program's effectiveness depends upon the ongoing coordination, cooperation, and partnerships of local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies--and the communities they serve--engaged in a unified approach led by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in all 94 districts.

The Children’s Initiative will be seeking grant applications for the Central District of California beginning on Tuesday, July 7, 2020. Focused program funding areas for the Central District of California have been limited to:

  • Targeted Prevention, Outreach, Engagement, and Re-entry programs that:

    • Provide services for at-risk communities to address drivers of gun and gang violence and repeat and habitual offenders; and/or

    • Provide outreach programs to Federal Firearm Licensees and the public to encourage responsible and safe gun ownership and to prevent the use of illegal straw purchasers.

  • Law Enforcement programs (or task forces) that:

    • Seek to reduce gang violence and the availability of weapons, particularly ghost guns and illegal Glock auto-switches and silencers, found in the Targeted Enforcement Area (TEA). This can include targeting violent gangs, felons in possession and other firearms offenses, geographic hot spot areas, and known shooters and chronic violent offenders, and the development of software to aid law enforcement in creating technology to properly identify and catalog ghost guns and Glock auto-switches.
