What this grant funds
Firearm violence has deeply harmed neighborhoods, communities, and the entire State of Illinois, both through the immediate loss of life and the long-term, harmful effects of trauma experienced by victims, witnesses, and community members. According to the 2024 U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, Firearm Violence: A Public Health Crisis in America, these impacts are felt disproportionately by communities impacted by poverty and other factors. As one of its multiple funding efforts to reduce firearm violence in the most heavily impacted communities across Illinois, the IDHS-Office of Firearm Violence Prevention (OFVP) is seeking to fund violence prevention organizations in specific community areas across Illinois to engage and serve those at the highest risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of firearm violence and should utilize evidence-informed programming and services which will improve individual outcomes and decrease risk factors associated with firearm violence.
