Overview

The Shannon Community Safety Initiative Grant aims to combat gang and youth violence through a comprehensive strategy involving social intervention, suppression, opportunity provision, organizational change, and community mobilization. With approximately $11.1 million in funding, the initiative supports multi-disciplinary approaches and encourages applicants to allocate more resources to public housing sites. This grant reflects a commitment to enhancing community safety and addressing the root causes of violence effectively.

Funding
OGR expects to award approximately $10.7 million with an additional $400,000 awarded to sites that apply to target violence prevention initiatives at state or federally-assisted public housing sites, for a total of $11.1 million. In order to equally distribute funding, OGR anticipates award amounts to be between $50,000 and $100,000 per site for this initiative, however if an applicant wishes to utilize more of their overall Shannon award to benefit this population, that will be permitted.
