Joint office to co-create CVIPI plan, fund capacity building for street outreach groups
Summary
Deputy Director Tamika Williams outlined a community-based violence intervention and prevention (CVIPI) strategic plan, a landscape analysis with national partners, and capacity-building supports (grant-writing, budgeting series) for local organizations including street outreach and reentry services.
Tamika Williams, deputy director for the joint office, said the office plans a Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention (CVIPI) strategic plan co-created with community partners and described a recent landscape analysis with national partners. "This will be a part of that community and government plan," she said, describing a midyear landscape report informed by training and convenings.
Williams said the office will run capacity-building series — grant-writing, budgeting, and back-office supports — so local nonprofits can pursue state and federal funding and scale street outreach. She said the office has identified existing street-outreach organizations (for example, the 901 Block Squad) and will continue to use local expertise while bringing in national partners for technical assistance when needed. The office also emphasized that faith-based groups are part of the larger ecosystem and will be connected through broader convenings.
