DeLaSalle Director Sean Stalling talks about the Block 37, a youth employment program, during a press conference at DeLaSalle Education Center on Wednesday.
Jackson County will award almost $1.5 million to local agencies to address domestic violence and youth employment. The Community Backed Anti-Drug Tax (COMBAT) program will distribute the money to 24 agencies.
