Violence Prevention and Reduction (VPR)

Violence Prevention and Street Intervention Program (VPSIP) funds designated to Metropolitan Family Services support its Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P) program. CP4P provides a targeted and holistic multi-tiered approach to confronting gun violence in the highest risk neighborhoods of Chicago, implementing multiple interventions that work directly with both perpetrators and the victims of gun violence. This comprehensive response collaborates with local agencies skilled in peace, trauma, victim services, and wraparound supports and have capable outreach workers who live and work within the communities served. CP4P partner agencies are fully integrated within the neighborhoods, allowing them to establish authentic relationships and be responsive to incidences of gun violence and the needs of those impacted by it.

The SFY25 State Budget appropriated $1,550,000 in General Revenue Funds for grants and administrative services associated with violence prevention programs, youth employment programs, and operational expenses to named entities.
