* Accept an $8,000 grant from the Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Weed & Seed Program for the G.R.E.A.T. Families program (Ordinance)

The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

1.  The Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs Weed & Seed Program is a community-based initiative to demonstrate a multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention and community revitalization. The Weed & Seed strategy includes four basic elements: law enforcement, community policing, prevention/intervention/treatment and neighborhood restoration.

2.  The Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program, (SEUL) is the fiscal agent for the Lents/Brentwood-Darlington Weed & Seed and wishes to contract with the Police Bureau Youth Crime Prevention Division to use Weed & Seed Grant funds to facilitate the GREAT Families program with selected middle school students and their families.

3.  SEUL through its Lents/Brentwood-Darlington Weed and Seed grant will reimburse the Portland Police Bureau up to a maximum of $8,000 for expenses incurred in the facilitation of the GREAT Families program for 10 families living in federally subsidized housing.

4.  The grant does not require matching funds.
