About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.744) funds new and expanded anti-gang enforcement and prevention activities under the Project Safe Neighborhood Initiative, with the most recent grant award made on October 1, 2009—over 16 years ago.
The program is inactive by current standards. Grant awards have not been disbursed since 2009, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. The portfolio shows a sharp concentration in 2006 and 2007, when 192 of 196 total awards were made (95 and 97 awards respectively), followed by a single award in 2008 and one in 2009. Combined federal dollars obligated total $86.7 million across all 196 awards since the program's inception in 2005.
Funded activities center on coordinated anti-gang strategies that blend enforcement, prevention, intervention, and reentry programming. Recent awards supported multi-agency partnerships targeting gang violence reduction in specific federal judicial districts and metropolitan areas. Examples include a $2.5 million award for a comprehensive anti-gang initiative in Indianapolis-Marion County (awarded November 2007), a $2.5 million award for the Oklahoma City Safe Community Coalition (September 2007), and a $2 million Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative (October 2008). Smaller awards ranged from approximately $95 thousand to $800 thousand, funding district-level or city-specific anti-gang programs.
Awards were structured almost entirely as Project Grants (195 of 196 awards, 99 percent), with a single Cooperative Agreement. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance accounted for 195 awards ($84.2 million) and the broader Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs for 1 award ($2.5 million).
Do not pursue this program in its current state. No solicitations have been released since 2009, and there is no indication of resumed funding activity.
