Senator DiDomenico Advocates for Funding Community Safety Initiative

BOSTON – Last week, Senator Sal DiDomenico hosted an event with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) to highlight their support of the Shannon Community Safety Initiative and all the benefits it has provided in the Commonwealth. This critical grant program provides funding for a multi-pronged approach to address a community’s gang and youth violence. Through these grants, communities can provide youth programming and help build and strengthen relationships between police and young people.

“I have supported this program for years and will continue to do so in order to reduce violence and protect young people in my district and across Massachusetts,” said Senator Sal DiDomenico. “I want to thank Rep. Adrian Madaro and the broad coalition of advocates working with me to support funding the Shannon grants.”
