What is a graduated site?
A graduated site is one that has completed its years of funding and maintains an organizational structure that continues to work on the strategic plan for the site, including weeding and seeding efforts. Graduated sites continue to develop, coordinate, and deliver services that enhance quality of life and improve public safety. As part of a sustainability plan, resources continue to be committed to the site strategy even though federal funding has ended. Once graduated, a site may no longer apply for funding through CCDO. If a community wants to reapply as a WSC, they may do so, but only in a new neighborhood that cannot overlap with any parts of the graduated site.
