Community-based Crime Action grants

 

The Community-based Crime Action grants are intended to engage local communities, businesses and organisations in the design and delivery of new ideas to deliver short-term programs and projects that address local youth crime issues and respond to young people at-risk of offending or involved in the youth justice system.  

Building on or complementing existing local responses and knowledge, the Community-based Crime Action grants will support innovative solutions that build community confidence and feelings of safety and affect lasting, meaningful changes and connections for young people.
