| Four elements make up the neighborhood's |
| Weed & Seed strategy: |
|
| Law enforcement; community policing; prevention, intervention, and treatment; and neighborhood restoration. Law enforcement activities constitute the weed portion of the program. Revitalization, which includes prevention, intervention and treatment services, and then neighborhood restoration, constitutes the seed element. Community policing is the bridge that links the Weed & Seed elements. |

| The Sunnyside neighborhood's Weed & Seed strategy is a resident-driven, multi-agency strategy that focuses on weeding out violent crime, gang activity, drug use, and drug trafficking in the Sunnyside neighborhood area and also seeding (restoring) the neighborhood through social and economic revitalization. The neighborhood's Weed & Seed strategy recognizes the importance of linking and integrating federal, state, and local law enforcement and criminal justice efforts with federal, state and local social services, and the private sector and community efforts to maximize the impact of existing programs and resources. It also recognizes the paramount importance of community involvement. Sunnyside's residents must be empowered to assist in solving problems in their neighborhood. In addition, the private sector is involved as a pivotal partner in the Weed & Seed strategy. |
