Staffimplementedthe program and it has been a huge success. The program provides after school homework assistance, tutoring, mentoring, games, field trips and more.

A $5,000 match will come from the Police Department contraband/forfeiture money, and $15,000 will be grant funded.

Start below and use continuation pages as necessary. Problem Identification: The area around Jordan Park has been a high drug distribution point for many years. Although.police operations and other efforts have had a positive effect on the neighborhood, the area remains problematic in several respects. The neighborhood is largely comprised of low income citizens, many of which are fearful of criminal activity but unwilling to take action against it. There are senior citizens as well as young families with children living in the area. Over the years, drug activity and drug- related crime have been common occurrences in the area. The citizens in this area typically feel alienated, and attempts to organize Neighborhood Watch and similar programs have been unsuccessful. Drug sales and drug-related crime have fluctuated according to crackdown operations by local police officers. There have been traditional and non-traditional operations that have had temporary successes, ~' but the criminality returns once the police presence has been removed. The current intelligence from Narcotics Detectives indicates that this neighborhood has once again emerged as a drug distribution center for the city. The impact on the neighborhood includes high crime rates, safety problems for residents, and a reduced quality of life for everyone. Program Description: The City of Atlantic Beach is requesting Byrne Granffunds to continue an existing.program Jordan Park Community Center). After receiving last year's grant to implement acommunity/ recreation program in Jordan Park, the City's Recreation Departmenthired an on-site person. The Director explained the program, grant and the objectives to the on-site person before he proceeded to set-up the program. The program includes after school homework assistance, sports, tutoring, mentoring, a go to college program cultural programs and more. The program is developing into something very much needed in the area. There are currently thirty kids on the roll and the,program averages fifteen kids a day. The hours are z:30 to 6:00 P.M. Monday thru Friday and a full work day during the summer. The City of Atlantic Beach is planning to use Byrne Grant funding to continue.the coinmun'dy/recreation program in Jordan Park. The City already owns a building at that location that has been dedicated to the Community Development Corporation jCDC)', and the CDCis supportive of the idea and~is happy.to.commit the use of the facility to this new project. The City of Atlantic Beach Parks and Recreation Department will organize and staffthe program, and the Attantic t3each Police Department will.participate.byprflvisling matching funds for the grant through contraband/forfeiture funds. I The program will include on-site supervision for an after-schootprogram. The immediate focus will be on homework and tutorial assistance each afternoon, complimented by recreational activities for school and subgrant Application Section 11-Page 3 of 76 SFY2000 Drug Control and System Improvement Formula Grant Program EdwardByme 1Nemorial Stafe andCocalAssistance children. Fun/learning activities will be planned including life/safety skills (Fire Safety, Bicycle Safety, Drug Resistance, Crime Prevention, etc3, athletic teams, occasional field trips, and similar activities. Atis (^~ develops, the Center will add incentives to promote academic achievement for the children, grid it will utilize community resources including teen and senior volunteers fo work with the kids. By the Summer of 199, the Center will open about Monday through Friday all day. Over time, it is expected that the Center witt encourage members of the community to come together fQr a variety of functions. The Center will provide a central meeting place for any number of neighborhood groups who need the space for their activities. This improved communication and cohesion should have a positive effect on the quality of life and the commitment of citizens to their community, while continuing to focus young people on an anti-drug lifestyle. t Subgrant Application Section I! -Page 4 of 16 SFY 2000 Drug Control and System Improvement Formula Grant Program Edx~ard ByrneMemoria!
