The Latino Coalition for Community

6 violence interruption focused organizations in California and Colorado are provided with sub grants and capacity-building through three projects funded through the City of Los Angeles, State, or Federal funding. These projects employ community intervention workers, violence interrupters and street outreach workers skilled in gang intervention, de-escalation efforts, and rumor control. Direct services are focused on supporting youth and young adults on their individual journeys and providing wrap-around services to families and siblings through case management, pro-social engagement, supportive services, and community and restorative justice events. These organizations collaborate with pubic safety and public health entities to strengthen community response to violence. The LCCL provides training, capacity-building, and technical assistance, and fosters ecosystem development through regular in-person site visits, trainings, and quarterly all-stakeholder meetings.
