Purpose
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is accepting applications through the On-line Grants Management System (OGMS) (www.ogms.dcjs.virginia.gov/index.do) for the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Program (HVIPP) grant. This grant is funded through the Firearm Violence Intervention and Prevention (FVIP) Fund.
The purpose of this initiative is to support the implementation of proven strategies that will result in reducing violent crime within the Commonwealth while implementing effective and sustainable solutions to intercept and eliminate local cycles of violence. HVIPPs are multidisciplinary programs that combine the efforts of medical staff with trusted community-based partners to provide safety planning, services, and trauma-informed care to victims injured in gun violence and their families.
Applicant Eligibility
This funding opportunity is open to individual hospitals without HVIPPs and non-profit organizations on behalf of unserved hospitals.
