Community Violence Prevention: Putting Communities First - Safer Communities and Saving Lives

Funding Agency:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

NOTE: This is a Forecasted Opportunity.

Community Violence (CV) can be prevented by meeting communities where they are and working with them to determine needs and priorities for prevention. This involves creating an infrastructure that supports a comprehensive approach based on scaling up existing CV efforts while also implementing proven programs, policies and practices that have immediate and long-lasting impacts to stem current violence and prevent future violence from occurring. Specifically, this program will fund up to 50 community-driven collaborative applicants to build and increase local CV capacity and support funded recipients to establish a community-driven prevention system that works with community organizations, local communities and affected populations, and multisector partners to prevent violence.
