Groups that provide crime prevention or crime remediation are eligible for a share of $500,000 from the provincial government.
Grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 will be available through the civil forfeiture crime remediation and crime prevention grant funding program, the provincial government said Thursday.
Priorities for funding include projects that respond to identified emerging issues, such as gang prevention, combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Preference will also be given to projects that strengthen B.C. families and support vulnerable communities.
The Victim Services and Crime Prevention Division will be accepting applications until Monday, Oct. 3. The grant application form can be found at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/crimeprevention/grants/index.htm
