Pacoima/Foothill Gang Reduction and Youth Development Zone

Using crime data indicating significant gang-related crime and violence, as well as other social indicators, the Office of the Mayor of Los Angeles opened a Gang Reduction and Youth Development Zone in the Pacoima/Foothill area of Los Angeles. Located in the San Fernando Valley, the Pacoima/Foothill area has endured persistently high crime rates and levels of violence. The primary goal of a GRYD Zone is to reduce gang-related violence and crime and increase youth development opportunities within the Zone. NCA/NCF
