Who is providing financial support for the Florida Gang Reduction Strategy?
At the inception of the Strategy in 2008, no funding or material support was provided by the Legislature. The member agencies of the Coordinating Council on Criminal Gang Reduction Strategies have dedicated staff time to Strategy coordination and implementation. Around the state, Task Force participation has been strictly voluntary. Resources necessary for organizing Task Force meetings have been provided in-kind through state and local agencies, as well as, through corporate sponsorship. Regional task force committees around the state are thinking of creative ways to marshal existing resources more wisely, seeking federal and private foundation grant funding, and enlisting business sponsorships to support local strategies.
