{"product_id":"2940013140493","title":"Matrix of Community-Based Initiatives","description":"In order to assist States, local units of government, and nonprofit organizations in their efforts to strengthen communities and reduce violence and delinquency, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has developed the Matrix of Community-Based Initiatives. The matrix indicates in graph format the collocations of major public and private comprehensive\u003cbr\u003ecommunity-based violence prevention and economic development initiatives that could assist in delinquency prevention efforts. It identifies jurisdictions from across America that are Federal Empowerment Zones, Enterprise Communities, PACT sites, Weed and Seed neighborhoods, participants in the Community Partnership Demonstration Program, or the site for other Federal or\u003cbr\u003ephilanthropic communitywide initiatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe initiative included in the matrix are guided by varying goals, from violence and substance abuse prevention to economic development. They also differ according to the scope of the geographic area they target, from countywide violence reduction to neighborhood-focused gang prevention. What each initiative has in common, however, is an interdisciplinary local planning board that has included in its focus improving the lives of at-risk children and families.\u003cbr\u003eThis report is divided in two parts. The first section provides a brief narrative description of each major Federal or private initiative, including a contact person within the Federal department or the foundation who can provide additional information about the initiative and a local contact person. It also furnishes similar information on major initiatives such as SafeFutures, Early Head Start, and FACES, for which sites have not yet been selected, to encourage currently operating initiatives to apply for these programs or to facilitate their strategic planning.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069760880880,"sku":"2940013140493","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013140493_p0.jpg?v=1763577043","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013140493","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
