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 Southern District of Oregon:

  •  Beginning Friday, April 17, 2020. Deadline: Monday, May 18 at 5 pm.

  • Expected grant recipients will be selected and receiving funds no later than June 12, 2020.

  • Grant period: October 1, 2019-September 30, 2022

​

Focused program funding areas for the District of Oregon’s PSN strategy for the 2018 funding cycle, the Portland Area Crime Gun Initiative (PACGI), have been limited to:

​

  • Targeted prevention, intervention, deterrence, and/or outreach activities for individuals at highest risk of being a victim or perpetrator in a shooting (including firearm violence victims) in the Targeted Enforcement Area (TEA), which employ the application of long-term, intensive case management. PACGI’s goal is to replicate the Oakland Ceasefire Intensive Case Manager/Life Coach program by creating an intensive Case Manager/Life Coach program in the TEA. Similar to Oakland, California and other jurisdictions’ ceasefire strategies, the goals are to reduce the risk of re-hospitalization for firearm or assault injuries, arrest for firearm or violent crime, and death by homicide.
