Will this Department of Justice Grant Impact the Louisville Sluggers?
As reported by WHAS 11:
Louisville has received a multi-million dollar federal grant to support a pilot program addressing gun violence in the Newburg neighborhood.
Mayor Craig Greenberg said the Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods (OSHN) was awarded $2 million from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the "Newburg Gun Violence Reduction Project."
The three-year program will focus on a geographical approach to identify and implement neighborhood-specific solutions, officials said on Thursday.
"Louisvillians deserve to live without the fear that gun would cut their life--or the life of a loved one--short," Greenberg said.
The DOJ's funding will be used by OSHN to create a collaborative system between residents, community leaders, nonprofit organizations and city and state agencies to strengthen violence intervention efforts, the mayor added.
