I'm
Jenna

Boston

This
fund,
these
funds
that
we
get
every
year
through
a
ops
indirectly
from
the
office
of
violence
against
women.
These
funds
support
our
domestic
civilian
domestic
violence
advocates
this
year.
There
was
an
increase
in
the
funding,
so
we'll
be
able
to
support
one
full-time
advocate
who
covers
East,
Boston
and
Jamaica
Plain,
as
well
as
20%
of
another
advocate
who
covers
Dorchester,
and
these
advocates
provide
critical
services
like
crisis
intervention,
referrals
and
safety
plans
for
victims
of
domestic
violence.
D
A
E
Hello,
my
name
is
Daman
bills.
I'm
the
project
coordinator
for
the
Senator
Charles
E,
Shannon,
Community,
Safety,
Initiative
I,
think
you
had
are
on
there,
it's
Shannon
I'm,
so
yeah.
This
is
an
initiative
that
funds
the
support
of
city
of
Boston's,
comprehensive
strategy
aimed
at
reducing
gun,
gang
and
youth
violence
in
the
city,
and
we
worked
hand-in-hand
with
SS.
Why
I
that's
why
it
has
the
highest
risk?
Young
people?
We
served
the
second
tier
of
that
through
community-based
organizations.
E
That's
a
that's
the
primary
effort
for
the
Shannon
grant
and
we
also
fund
three
city
based
organizations.
So
this
is
our
12th
year
of
operation
of
the
Shannon
grant
when
started.
It
was
about
at
three
million
and
that's
when
essa,
Shannon
and
re-entry
were
combined
somewhere
around
2010.
They
separated
the
initiatives
and
Shannon
got
its
own
initiative.
Re-Entry
got
its
own
initiative,
so
the
funds
were
kind
of
were
reduced
then,
but
every
year
since,
probably
for
the
last
four
years,
the
funds
for
Shannon
from
the
state
have
been
reducing,
reducing,
reducing,
be
it.
E
Crime
reduction
crime
has
gone
down,
so
maybe
it's
less
funding,
but
the
organizations
are
still
providing
that
service.
So
we
fund
this
year,
17
organizations,
some
of
which
are
Boston
centers
for
youth
and
families
Edic
with
their
y-o-u
project.
Youth
connect,
Boston,
Center,
Boston,
Medical
Center
via
program,
which
has
which
serves
young
people
who
have
been
have
penetrating
wounds
at
the
at
the
hospital.
My
life,
my
choice,
Lewis
D,
Brown,
Peace,
Institute,
maverick
landing,
Community,
Services
and
eight
others
that
are
in
the
Shannon
initiative.
A
We'll
continue
to
push
our
friends
up
at
the
Statehouse
for
additional
funding,
because
what
ends
up
happening
is
you,
you
know
more
than
I
when
you
begin
to
have
success,
and
then
you
stop
paying
for
that
success.
You're
gonna
stop
paying
on
the
back
end
with
with
bad
numbers.
You
know
so
we'll
continue
to
fight
for
it.
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
Shannon
grant.
I
know
that
way
back
in
the
day
they
used
to
be
an
integral
part
of
the
Boston
youth
fund
and
the
summer
jobs
hiring.
A
A
A
So
the
next
two

other
drills
like

and
it
also
covers
the

to
the

so
we're
placing
