The Safe in the 305 Grant is a Peace & Prosperity Plan initiative geared to encourage, support, and empower community stakeholders leading efforts in their community. The Peace & Prosperity Plan is an evidence-based prevention, intervention and reentry strategy which aims to address the needs of the youth, families and communities impacted by gun violence and tackles the underlying causes to create real reform.
The Safe in the 305 grant program is designed to incentivize and encourage resident leaders and organizations to promote peace and prosperity across communities, by funding community-driven actions that make their own neighborhoods safer.
The goals of the Safe in the 305 Grant program are to activate community participation in creating safer neighborhoods, amplify the voices of residents and community leaders against violence, build capacity in communities and bridge gaps with neighborhood stakeholders and government to address quality of life issues.
Prevention: services and programs that enhance the overall well-being of people by preventing major challenges, breaking cycles and supporting positive outcomes including, but not limited to, education, health services, housing and more
Intervention: alternative programs that may include education, training, redirection and treatment
Reentry: programs and services to support the reintegration of returning citizens into the community, including, but not limited to, workforce development, housing, restorative justice, mental/emotional wellness, family reunification and basic needs
