About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) within the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is seeking grant applications for the Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI). This program aims to reduce violent crime through comprehensive, evidence-informed community violence intervention strategies that engage multiple stakeholders including community residents, local government agencies, victim service providers, and law enforcement. The initiative focuses on interrupting cycles of violence, supporting high-risk individuals, and developing collaborative approaches to community safety, with a particular emphasis on populations aged 14-34 in communities with elevated gun violence rates. Eligible applicants include city/township governments, tribal organizations, county governments, and other local entities. The grant opportunity is currently open, with applications due by October 27, 2025, and requires applicants to demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach to violence prevention and community engagement.
Typical federal grant awards under this program range from $788,000 to $4,000,000, with project periods spanning three to five years. The funding is designed to support local and regional efforts to develop comprehensive violence intervention programs, build organizational capacity, and create data-driven strategies for reducing community violence. Award periods generally range from 12 to 36 months, and successful applicants must maintain financial records and supporting documentation for at least three years following the most recent audit. Recipients will be expected to implement holistic violence reduction approaches that rely heavily on collaboration between community residents and local government entities.
Synopsis
This funding opportunity supports law enforcement efforts to reduce violent crime and improve police-community relations through a range of cross-sector enforcement, prevention, and intervention strategies that leverage active collaboration with communities through sustained partnerships and engagement.
