The Phase I expedited allocation focuses specifically on 2014 summertime job programs for youth as well as crime-deterrent programming for at-risk populations in designated high-crime areas.
The grant awards range between $5,000 and $20,000 and must be expended by September 1, 2014. To qualify for grant consideration and receipt, organizations had to be either a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization or a public entity partnering with a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization as a fiscal agent in order to be eligible for grant consideration.
The $2 million 2014 Community Crime Prevention Grant Program (which includes Phase I and II) will again support community-based organizations that can demonstrate community impact.
