Opportunity Summary:
The CCDO FY 09 Weed and Seed Communities Competitive Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Justice's Community Capacity Development Office (CFDA 16.595). It supports the Weed and Seed strategy, a place-based approach meant to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug-related criminal activity, and gang activity in neighborhoods experiencing persistent, high levels of serious crime and related social challenges. The core idea is to combine targeted law enforcement and prosecution efforts with community prevention, intervention, and neighborhood restoration so that public safety gains are reinforced by longer-term improvements in community conditions.
The program is structured around creating or strengthening a Weed and Seed Community (WSC), which is expected to operate as a comprehensive, multi-agency partnership rather than a single-organization project. Applicants are expected to build a coordinated local strategy in collaboration with a range of key organizations, including a required partnership with the local United States Attorney's Office (USAO). The WSC model emphasizes using and redeploying existing public and private resources into the target area, aligning agencies and community partners around shared priorities, and addressing the underlying social problems that can feed cycles of violence, drug abuse, and gang involvement when left unaddressed.
Eligible applicants, as referenced in H.R. 3402 Sections 103(b) and 105, include state governments (including Indian tribal governments), local governments, and neighborhood- and community-based organizations. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the project consistent with the program rules. The maximum award amount listed is $175,000, with no specified minimum award floor. This funding is intended to help communities implement or expand coordinated strategies that integrate enforcement, prevention, and community revitalization in a defined high-crime neighborhood.
Key administrative details from the notice include the funding opportunity number (CCDO 2009 1825), the original posting date (May 9, 2008), and an application closing date of September 9, 2008, with an archive date of October 1, 2008. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Erin A. Holbert, Supervisory Grant Specialist, at 202-616-1152.
