Description:
The purpose of this program is to support communities with high levels of gang violence in developing evidence-based or promising models, practices, and policies for youth victims of gang-related violence. Funding will support efforts to increase the availability of direct support services for victims of gang-related violence and to develop or enhance the responses to children and youth exposed to gang-related violence in their homes, schools, and communities. Applicants that propose to provide direct services to youth must not include youth who are age 18 or older in the population they will serve. Award recipients will be expected to provide support services to these youth, improve responses to children exposed to gang-related violence, and enhance public safety in their communities through multidisciplinary team responses.
