Résumé

The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) announces the availability of funds for competing discretionary grants under the Youth Gang Drug Prevention Program. The purpose of this program is to conduct community-based, comprehensive and coordinated activities to reduce and prevent the involvement of youth in gangs that engage in illicit drug-related activities. This announcement is a departure from ACYF's traditional approach to youth gang prevention. ACYF intends to demonstrate that multi-dimensional prevention strategies concentrated in small socially and economically isolated communities have great potential for positively impacting young adolescents as they develop to adulthood. This announcement describes the grant application process and covers the single demonstration priority area for which new grants will be awarded in Fiscal Year 1994: Community Planning Grants.
