Gun violence prevention groups disqualified from grants built around their work
AI Summary
The Trump administration has altered a grant program aimed at preventing gun violence in underserved communities, disqualifying non-profit organizations that previously benefited from it. The Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI), established under the Biden administration to support community-centered efforts against gun violence, now only allows city, county, and tribal governments to apply. This change shifts the program's focus from comprehensive prevention to supporting law enforcement efforts. Since 2022, over $300 million has been awarded through CVIPI to more than 120 non-profits and governmental entities. These changes reflect a broader shift away from community-based solutions towards law enforcement-focused strategies under the Trump administration.
