Grant Description: The Weed and Seed strategy aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity. The Weed and Seed initiative is a community-based, comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and neighborhood restoration. It is designed for neighborhoods with persistent high levels of serious crime and corresponding social problems. Weed and Seed Communities (WSC) must be developed in partnership with many local organizations-including the United States Attorneys Office (USAO)-to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in a community primarily through the redeployment of existing public and private resources into the community. WSC also help to address related social problems that without proper intervention often lead to violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity.
