MONTAVILLA/HAZELWOOD LIVABILITY COALITION

Grant Application

Operation Weed and Seed, is a U.S. Department of Justice strategy to "weed-out" gangs, drugs, and violence; and "seed-in" positive community programs. It is an innovative and comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization built on the model of collaboration and cooperation.

Working in partnership with the Lents/Brentwood-Darlington Weed & Seed site, community stakeholders in Montavilla and Hazelwood, and the Montavilla/Hazelwood Livability Coalition, strategic planning has been happening leading to the development of an application for Official Recognition as a Weed and Seed site. The application provides an overview of existing issues and assets in the target area and a comprehensive 5-year plan for addressing weed and seed activities.

The Lents/Brentwood-Darlington Weed & Seed selected Montavilla and Hazelwood as prospective weed and seed partners based on issues relating to crime, demographics, community assts, physical location, and coalition partners.
