The County Mayor or designee is authorized to select an organization to manage the Safe in the 305 Grants Program (up to $115,000.00) and an entity to evaluate the plan (up to $50,000.00). The plan funds programs like Fit2Lead, MDSO Turn Around Police Academy (TAP), MDSO Youth Outreach Unit (YOU), and Youth Athletic Initiative (YAMI). The Safe in the 305 Grants Program will award microgrants to organizations and residents for community safety initiatives. An independent evaluation of the plan's programming from October 2022 to December 2025 will be conducted. The plan aims to reduce gun violence and provide economic opportunities, with a focus on youth. The County experienced a 41 percent decrease in gun-related homicides in calendar year 2024 compared to 2020.
