This 10-year, $1 billion program is currently working with <br />14 communities, including the City of Santa Ana. The program aims to improve employment <br />opportunities, education, housing, neighborhood safety, unhealthy environmental conditions, access <br />to healthy foods and more. The goal is to create places where children are healthy, safe and ready to <br />learn. <br />The Santa Ana Police Department has been awarded a $61,144 grant from the California <br />Endowment. This funding will provide the Police Department resources to focus on Community <br />Outreach within the Empowerment Zone. This focused outreach will capitalize on two proven and <br />effective programs, The Parent Academy and Jr. COP Program. Additionally, the Department will <br />introduce a new program, The Teen Academy. The Department will partner with schools and <br />neighborhood associations to determine the locations that will best benefit from these programs. <br />20A-1
