Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Safety to enter into contract with the Africentric Personal Development Shop Inc. (APDS) This contract will allocate $100,000.00 from the General Fund to support "Collective Action for Youth and Community Development" (CAYCD), a program that provides coordinated services for youth and families within a targeted area. CAYCD is a strategy developed by the Neighborhood Safety Working Group (NSWG) to serve as a demonstration/pilot model to implement one of the key components of the Mayor's Anti-Violence Plan.

Twenty-four community providers agreed to collaborate and form a "Council" to coordinate services for families and youth who reside in a targeted area bounded by Mooberry Street, Whittier Street, Parsons Avenue, and Rhoades Avenue. CAYCD collectively provides and implement a comprehensive network of intervention and prevention programs, focusing primarily on families and youth less than 22 years of age, to decrease violence and victimization in the targeted area.

The Africentric Personal Development Shop Inc. serves as the coordinating agency for the "Council" of community providers. The funds will support the second year administrative costs of a three - year plan for the administration of CAYCD.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this project are budgeted at $100,000 within the Department of Public Safety, Safety Director's budget. The contract in 2005 was for $100,230 for start-up and administrative costs.
