Statewide Capacity-Building Grants to Support Violence Prevention
+ Intervention
Program Overview:
In March 2022, HB4045 was signed into law by Governor Kate Brown. As part of HB4045, POIC + RAHS received $2.5 million to provide grants to organizations for community violence prevention and intervention measures to address intermediate risk factors and support protective factors to decrease social pressure to engage in community violence. Funding was awarded to 29 organizations across the state for a variety of impactful community programs.
Our Violence Prevention & Intervention Grantmaking program is an expansion of POIC + RAHS’ Village model and Healing Hurt People. The Village fills gaps in local violence intervention and prevention services while strengthening the coordination, capacity, and resiliency of the direct service providers themselves– individually and collectively.
After a successful pilot of Statewide Violence Intervention and Prevention grants during 2022-2023, POIC + RAHS worked with Partners for Safety and Justice to advocate for additional funding to be included in the 2023-2025 Governors Budget. Through this advocacy, POIC + RAHS was included in this biennium’s budget to continue this statewide grantmaking program, allowing us to enter year two of our grantmaking program.
