Gang Violence Problem Statement (about 6,000 characters – approximately 3 double-spaced pages/size 12 font)

Describe the current nature and extent of the gang violence problem within the applicant community and any partnering communities identified in the application. Include gang-related statistical data (e.g., types of gangs in the city, size, related crime, number of recruits, etc.)

and definitions that are clear and evidence-based. The gang violence problem should be reflective of the applicant’s gang definition and the Shannon youth definition.

• Site-Specific Gang Definition Detail how the term “gang” is defined by the applicant community.

Explain how this definition was constructed (e.g., law enforcement task force, adaptation from evidence-based literature, etc.).

• Shannon Youth Definition

Shannon eligible youth are defined as: (1) between the ages of 10-24 years of age; (2) living in a high-risk (or hot spot) area within the community*; and (3) at-risk or high-risk of becoming involved, or currently involved, in gang activity, as defined by the Shannon CSI.

*Applicants must detail how the term “high-risk (or hot spot) area within the community” is defined by the applicant community (e.g., law enforcement crime analysis, research https://www.cognitoforms.com/MAOfficeOfGrantsAndResearchOGR/SFY2027SenatorCharlesEShannonJrCommunitySafetyInitiativeGrantProgramApplication mailto:Emily.fontaine@mass.gov literature, community assessment, etc.).

Proposed Strategy (about 6,000 characters – approximately 3 double-spaced pages/size 12 font) For this section, use the Shannon youth definition (defined above) when determining which youth participants are eligible to receive services.

• Strategy Description Explain and describe the identified strategy and its outcomes, as they relate to and address the data provided in the Gang Violence Problem Statement/Program Narrative. Note that preference will be given to programs that target geographical locations that demonstrate high levels of gang violence and describe a regional, multi-jurisdictional strategy. Applicants must demonstrate a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach based on OJJDP’s Comprehensive Gang Model and reflecting evidence-based best practices.

If the applicant has received Shannon funding previously:

List and briefly describe any site challenges from prior Shannon funding cycles.

Does the strategy address any of the listed challenges?

If so: Describe how the strategy has been modified to address these challenges.

If not: Explain why these challenges have not been addressed.

• Strategy Development What methods have been used to identify strategies, or gaps in services, needed to address the specific gang violence problem in the community as illustrated in the Gang Violence Problem Statement (e.g., community risk assessments, recommendations from steering committee members or other stakeholders, etc.)?

If an applicant received funding previously:

Community risk assessments: When was your most recent community risk assessment completed? How was the community risk assessment done?

Explain the process and key takeaways from the assessment. How did the assessment inform your plan for programming?

Partner selection (about 2,000 characters – approximately 1 double-spaced page/size 12 font)

• Based on the strategy, explain how and why each potential partner was selected to address the Gang Violence Problem Statement. Include a statement about the steering committee’s level of involvement during the partner selection process.

• Complete the Partner Selection table detailing the partners selected based on the Gang Violence Problem Statement.

• Upload a letter of collaboration from each partner. Each letter should be signed by both parties and outline the relationship between the agencies that will form the basis of a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) if the grant is awarded. These can be combined and uploaded as one PDF to the online application.

• If there is an RFP process for partner selection, please describe the process and timeline.

• Describe the applicant’s approach for ensuring that selected partners understand and comply with Shannon CSI grant requirements. Include strategies for communicating expectations, monitoring partner participation, and reporting responsibilities.

Collaboration with other funding sources (about 6,000 characters – approximately 3 double-spaced pages/size 12 font)

• Communities often use multiple funding streams to combat gang violence.

Please identify other funding streams you may be receiving, such as the Safe and Successful Youth Initiative, and how these funding streams will enhance or complement programming delivered through Shannon CSI.

c. Budget Narrative

The Budget Narrative should outline the budget requested and itemize the expenses by cost category as described in this application. For each cost category that has an associated funding request in the Budget Excel Worksheet (Attachment A), please provide an overall description and justification of that cost category. The budget category narratives should describe what the budget entails, why the items in that category are needed, and how the budgeted amount was determined.

Please include any hires (under personnel), trainings, supplies needed, vendor information or process for selecting a vendor, where applicable. Applicants should submit a budget for up to approximately 12 months. The budget narratives should demonstrate how the costs in the proposed Budget Excel Workbook specifically link to your proposed strategy to combat gang violence.

Budget Excel Workbook (Attachment A)

• This section outlines the budget necessary to implement the applicant’s proposed strategy. Applicants must:

• Submit a 12-month budget.

• Utilize Attachment A to document the proposed costs for each cost category. Estimated costs must be identified.

Applicants are encouraged to balance the allocation of grant resources across the participating stakeholders. This will provide a balanced allocation of grant resources among the major areas of activity. For grant applications that devote more than 33% of total proposed spending to a single agency or strategy, please provide a detailed explanation as to the decision-making process. OGR reserves the right to revise budgets that exceed the maximum of 33% of total proposed spending to a single agency or strategy.

Match Funding Authorizing legislation mandates that preference be given to applicants submitting a match commitment of 25%. Match funds must align with the costs as outlined below.

Calculating Match Funding

To determine the 25% match, divide the state funding request by three (3). The resulting figure will equal 25% of the total project cost.

Example:

If requesting $300,000 in state funds to support the project, the applicant must provide an additional $100,000 in matching funds ($300,000/3 = $100,000).

State funds = $300,000 (75%) Match funds = $100,000 (25%) Total Project Cost = $400,000 (100%)

VII. Application Submission

Submit the online application including all required Attachments by 4:00 p.m. on September 25, 2026.

Emailed submissions will not be accepted.

VIII. Application Review Process

Applications will be subjected to a competitive review process consisting of 3 peer reviewers for each application. Each application will be evaluated and scored based on the following:

• Applicant/Project Information (10 points): clear and adequate response in the

Applicant Information section. Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate a commitment to regional, multi-jurisdictional strategies and identify a local unit of government to serve as the fiscal agent.

• Gang Violence Problem Statement (15 points): Statement demonstrates the salience of the problem with reference to statistical data, and definitions are clear and evidence-based. The statistical evidence/crime data included in the application will be used to determine the magnitude and prevalence of the gang problem at the applicant site, as well as the need for and level of funding awarded. The gang problem should be reflective of the applicant’s gang definition.

• Proposed Strategy (35 Points): The strategy is clearly described, and the applicant identifies the methods and evidence used to identify the strategy and gaps in service.

The description uses data and evidence to identify the link between the Gang Violence Problem Statement and the proposed strategy. The statistical evidence/crime data included in the application will be used to determine whether the proposed strategy, strategy outcomes, and proposed funded partners are the most relevant and effective means for combatting the site’s gang violence problem, as modeled by OJJDP’s multi-faceted Comprehensive Gang Model and evidence-based practices. The Gang Violence Problem Statement, proposed strategy, strategy outcomes, and funded partners will be evaluated to determine if the target population to be served aligns with the requirements of the Shannon youth definition. Programs that target geographical locations that demonstrate high levels of gang violence, and that demonstrate a commitment to regional, multi-jurisdictional strategies will be prioritized.

o Past Performance: Past performance with Shannon grant funds will be taken into consideration. Non-compliance with programmatic and/or reporting requirements such as late or delinquent report submission, missing required supporting documentation, and the like may be taken into consideration during review. Note:

all SFY26 funded municipalities must be in compliance with all programmatic and fiscal reporting requirements in order to receive a SFY27 grant award.

• Partner Selection (15 points): Grantees will be expected to explain how and why each proposed partner will be selected to address the Gang Violence Problem Statement, and to identify the steering committee’s level of involvement during the partner selection process.

https://www.cognitoforms.com/MAOfficeOfGrantsAndResearchOGR/SFY2027SenatorCharlesEShannonJrCommunitySafetyInitiativeGrantProgramApplication

• Collaboration (5 points): Grantees will be expected to demonstrate how Shannon CSI funds will be used in collaboration with existing community resources and funding streams to combat gang violence within the community.

• Budget (20 Points): The proposed Budget Excel Workbook and Budget Narrative will be evaluated to ensure that the approved cost categories are composed of items that ensure proper implementation and maximum effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Office of the State Auditor Massachusetts State House, Room 230 Boston, MA 02133 617-727-2075 Email the SAO Report waste and abuse here.

Other Requirements

• Shannon CSI sites must maintain an active steering committee to ensure community collaboration, consistent information sharing, oversight, and direction for the Shannon grant award. The steering committee should represent the spectrum of organizations involved and the diversity of the community.

• Shannon CSI sites must identify a site program director. A site program director shall be appointed or hired to oversee the project at each site and serve as the point of contact for the program partners and OGR. The site program director’s role and responsibilities should be provided to OGR at the commencement of each site’s grant award.

mailto:IGO-FightFraud@state.ma.us mailto:Auditor@SAO.state.ma.us https://www.mass.gov/how-to/report-waste-and-abuse

• The site program director shall provide the steering committee with a list of funded program partners, funding amount, and bi-annual site and partner programmatic activities and progress.

• The Shannon CSI site director must work with the Local Action Research Partner (LARP) to ensure timely and accurate bi-annual programmatic reporting for the site and each funded program partner.

• The Shannon CSI site must provide the LARP and/or the Statewide Research

Partner (SRP) an opportunity to participate in the steering committee meetings.

• The Shannon CSI site must work with their LARP or the SRP to develop a community assessment for their respective site. Community assessments are to follow the OJJDP guidelines. It is encouraged that a community assessment is done every one to two years if possible.

• The Shannon CSI site must work with the SRP and LARP in implementing the

Shannon Youth Violence Risk Assessment (SYVRA) tool to identify youth at risk of engaging in violence and gangs and match them with the most appropriate programming, services, and interventions.

• The Shannon CSI site is strongly encouraged to participate in all SRP studies and surveys.

• The Shannon CSI site must adopt and utilize the following terms:

• Shannon eligible youth must be: (1) between the ages of 10-24 years of age; (2) living in a high-risk (or hot-spot) area within the community; and (3) at-risk or high-risk of becoming involved, or currently involved, in gang activity, as defined by the Shannon CSI site.

• Low-risk youth (SYVRA score of 0-5) represent the lowest risk of violence and gang membership, suggesting they are at the lowest need for programming. Low-need groups should not be denied services, however, because participation in programs might prevent the onset of risk. When Shannon grantees work with youth who are identified as low need using the SYVRA, they should consider assessment item scores to determine programs and services that would be most appropriate for these youth. When possible, Shannon grantees should avoid placing low-risk youth in programming with moderate and high-risk peers.

• Moderate-risk youth (SYVRA score of 6-11) would benefit from targeted programs. Reviewing the specific SYVRA item scores can help guide programming and referral decisions. While these youth may require more support than those in the low-risk category, the intensity and breadth of services will generally be less than those recommended for high-risk youth.

• High-risk youth (SYVRA score of 12+) are expected to benefit the most from intensive programming. Grantees should review dynamic risk factors identified by the SYVRA to determine priority areas for intervention, as youth in this category often present with multiple areas of need requiring coordinated services.

• Police departments receiving Shannon CSI funding must: a) contribute daily crime data to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Fusion Center’s Coplink; and b) report their crime data on a monthly basis (minimum) to the Crime Reporting Unit of the Massachusetts State Police. Agencies that have record management systems capable of generating National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data must submit crime data to the Crime Reporting Unit only in this format. Police departments receiving Shannon CSI funding that maintain a juvenile lockup must submit monthly juvenile lockup data to the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services via CJIS/LEAPS.

• Police departments receiving Shannon CSI funding will be required to participate and submit case-specific information on officer administration of Narcan/Naloxone using a reporting tool as determined by EOPSS.

• The receipt of grant funds is contingent upon the grantee’s ability to certify that it will comply with the Massachusetts General Laws, including G.L. c. 40A, § 3A, the MBTA Communities Act. Compliance with the MBTA Communities Act is determined by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. This will be included in the OGR Grant Conditions form disseminated at the time of contracting.
