This project is authorized and funded through a line item in the FY 08 Congressional Budget. Funds should be used for purposes recommended by Congress.

The Homestead Borough will assist the local police department with non-traditional crime prevention events, while decreasing the likelihood of drug abuse in adolescents. They will support law enforcement activities for youth summer recreation programs and annual community day events. Through cooperative planning, programming, and service coordination, they will assist the local police department with non-traditional crime prevention events to decrease the likelihood of drug abuse in adolescents. The Homestead Borough program will reduce violence within the Homestead community and enhance the quality of life for the residents.
