BFHD Accepting CVI Funding Proposals

🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

The Benton-Franklin Health District (BFHD) began accepting applications June 1, 2026, for Community Violence Intervention (CVI) funding. Organizations can apply through July 10, 2026, to implement strategies from the region's CVI Plan developed with the Community Safety Council.

The CVI Plan focuses on prevention through community-based approaches rather than solely law enforcement responses. BFHD states these strategies aim to reduce violence by addressing root causes and building community safety through collaboration. Organizations must be qualified to receive funding for CVI program implementation.
