Illinois will be accepting applications for a second round of grant money to support community organizations that serve neighborhoods most impacted by economic disinvestment, violence, and the war on drugs. The 45-million-dollars was generated through taxing marijuana sales. Grants will go toward providing civil legal aid, economic development, re-entry from the criminal justice system, violence prevention and youth development.
