In partnership with CCF, the Department of Public Health’s Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) has awarded 56 grants totaling $22.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to community-based organizations across Los Angeles County dedicated to violence prevention. Our Trauma Prevention Partnership supports eight funding categories: Hospital Violence Intervention, Street Outreach, Peer-to-Peer Learning Academy, Youth Programs, Trauma Informed Care & Community Healing, Crisis Response, School Safety Transformation, and the Community Hardship Fund. The goal of the funding is to prevent violent incidents, implement crisis response when violent incidents occur, address factors contributing to gun and gang violence, and increase access to trauma-informed care and healing-centered services and support.
