In June, President Biden announced a comprehensive strategy to combat gun violence and other violent crime, including preventive measures proven to reduce violent crime and attack its root causes. This strategy encourages using the American Rescue Plan's (ARP's) historic funding levels, including the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER), to help State and local governments support proven community violence intervention (CVI) programs--programs that use credible messengers to target individuals most likely to be perpetrators or victims of community violence, provide them services to stay safe and change their lives, and deescalate conflict and prevent retaliation. This document outlines resources that are available to states, districts, and schools to support community violence intervention efforts.
