The Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) was awarded a $646,000 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Financial Assistance for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program (CFDA 97.132). The grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will support OCHN's community-based initiatives to prevent targeted violence and terrorism. Specifically, the funding will be used for educational programs, community outreach, training, research studies, and technical assistance designed to recognize risk factors, develop intervention approaches, conduct threat assessments, and counter extremist ideologies. The grant aims to increase community awareness of violence escalation signs, understand potential threats, and enhance local prevention capabilities across diverse communities in the Troy, Michigan area.
