This BJA grant is for the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative, a nationwide program designed to foster safer communities by actively reducing and sustaining the reduction of gang and gun violence and associated crime. Its success hinges on strong collaboration among local, state, and federal agencies, spearheaded by the U.S. Attorney in each of the 94 federal judicial districts. Each U.S. Attorney is responsible for forming a collaborative PSN task force, comprising law enforcement and community members, to implement district-specific initiatives. These efforts are guided by five core elements: partnerships, strategic planning, training, outreach, and accountability, targeting specific gun and gang crime problems.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | County governments State governments City or township governments Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Private institutions of higher education Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | The PSN task force must identify a fiscal agent for the district, which must be certified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Eligible fiscal agents include states, units of local government, educational institutions, faith-based and other community organizations, and private nonprofit organizations. BJA recommends that districts select their current PSN fiscal agent, or consider using the State Administering Agency (SAA) for DOJ funding as SAAs can better leverage state resources to assist in the implementation of the district’s PSN initiative. For a list of SAAs, see www.ojp.usdoj.gov/saa/. For details on the fiscal agent certification process, see www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/psngrants/cert_process.html. |

| Description: | Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a nationwide network designed to create safer neighborhoods by reducing gang and gun violence and crime, and sustaining that reduction. The program’s effectiveness is based on the 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. Through the PSN task force, each USA will implement the five core elements of PSN—partnerships, strategic planning, training, outreach, and accountability—to address specific gun and gang crime problems in that district. Details on the five elements can be found online at www.ncjrs.gov/html/bja/205263/. This initiative is authorized by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117). |
