"The Justice Department has announced substantial funding cuts impacting community violence prevention and intervention programs, prioritizing law enforcement operations over community support initiatives."
"Locally, organizations including BOSS and the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform are facing significant financial challenges due to these federal funding reductions."
The U.S. Department of Justice announced an $811 million reduction in grants that will adversely affect violence prevention and intervention programs in Oakland and Alameda County. Local organizations, including BOSS and the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, are among those affected by the cuts. While some victim service grants were restored, the primary focus will shift towards funding law enforcement operations and addressing violent crime. The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform alone stands to lose about $3 million it was set to receive over the next few years.
