Can funds be used to provide tax incentives, purchase security systems, and provide consulting to the grocery store chain related to crime prevention through environmental design?
No, it would not be acceptable to use funds for the purchase of furniture, equipment, or to provide tax incentives. Funding should be used to implement policy, environmental, programmatic, and infrastructure changes aligned with the strategic directions listed on page 6 of the FOA to achieve the intended outcomes, including changes in weight, proper nutrition, physical activity, tobacco use prevalence, and emotional well-being and overall mental health, as well as other program outcomes.
