(See &#147;Eligibility,&#148; page 3.)    OJJDP will give preference to applicants that have developed strong support within local government.  Specifically, successful applicants from cities will be those that have signed letters of support from, at a minimum, their mayor, chief of police, and the local school superintendent and can show how the implementation of their community-based anti-gang strategy fits into their city&#146;s youth violence prevention plan.
Description: Youth gangs continue to have a significant adverse impact on youth, families, and communities across America. A growing number of communities have adopted OJJDP&#146;s Comprehensive Gang Model, a multi-strategy, multidisciplinary approach that has proven to be effective in reducing gang activity. The OJJDP FY 2011 Comprehensive Anti-Gang Strategies and Programs solicitation provides funding for localities to support coordinated federal, state, and local partnerships to implement the following anti-gang programs: primary prevention, secondary prevention, gang intervention, and targeted gang enforcement. This program will be authorized by an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
