Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant Program (PSN) and Project Safe Neighborhoods Anti-Gang Initiative (PSN Anti-Gang)
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a nationwide network designed to create safer neighborhoods by reducing gun violence and gun crime, and sustaining that reduction. The program’s effectiveness is based on cooperation of local, state, and federal agencies in a unified offensive led by the U.S. Attorney (USA) in each of the 94 federal judicial districts. Each USA is responsible for establishing a collaborative PSN task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement and other community members to implement PSN initiatives within the district.
Project Safe Neighborhoods Anti-Gang Initiative funds are dedicated to supporting new and expanded anti-gang prevention and enforcement efforts under the Project Safe Neighborhoods Initiatives. Anti-Gang Initiative funds will enhance PSN task force efforts to combat gangs by building on the effective strategies and partnerships developed under PSN.
OCJS serves as the fiscal agent for both the PSN and PSN Anti-Gang programs.
