$200 Million in Grants to Municipalities
Attorney General Michael Mukasey announced Thursday that the Justice Department plans to propose $200 million in grants to municipalities to help combat gang and gun violence. The funds will be included in President Bush's budget proposal to be unveiled next month and are intended to help establish new task forces in which federal agents work with police from several neighboring jurisdictions to target armed youths and gangs.  It would be a significant increase from the $75 million awarded last year. "This initiative will help communities address their specific violent crime challenges, especially where multiple jurisdictions are involved," Mukasey told the National Conference of Mayors in Washington. "We'll be able to send targeted resources where they are needed the most and where they show the most promise.". "Task forces and matching grant programs like Project Safe Neighborhoods, and Weed and Seed, and the COPS program really help," said Mayor Terry Bellamy, of Asheville, North Carolina.

This funding will also allow local youth and adults to gain greater access to marriage education services and acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to form and sustain a healthy marriage.
