Project Safe Neighborhoods
Project Safe Neighborhoods prevents and intervenes in incidents of community violence, specifically in Wards 5, 6, 7 and 8. This program provides services to young people and their families who are at high risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of violence. Our culturally competent approach includes street-based outreach and safe “drop-in” spaces in areas where violence is most acute, case management services, and special youth development activities such as our Groups-to-Hoops basketball league and our Go-Go Band.
Our efforts are sustained through true community collaboration and partnership. Strong relationships with District agencies, resident councils at public housing projects and other key stakeholders are crucial and uniformly valued.
