The San José City Council has set aside $500,000 as one-time allocation for the 2009 Safe Summer Initiative Grant (SSIG) Program. The intent of the SSIG program is to provide San José youth ages 6-18, with unique recreational and/or educational opportunities not normally available to them and to keep them safe, active and engaged in pro-social behaviors during the months of June through September, with a special emphasis on At-Risk, High-Risk, Impacted and Intentional youth. This mini-grant will provide amounts of $1,000 to $30,000 to eligible applicants to provide safe and fun recreation opportunities to the youth of San José with a particular focus on areas identified as “Hot Spots.”
