PALMDALE : Anti-Gang Program Gets $40,000 Grant
United Community Action Network received a $40,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday for a gang diversion and parenting program in the Antelope Valley. The nonprofit network has run a variety of anti-gang programs out of its Palmdale office since 1990, including a 24-hour tip and help line, seminars and youth counseling. The grant will be supplemented by $55,000 in state funding to pay for one year of the program’s operating costs. The network estimates that at least 500 youths and their parents will be assisted.
