Latino Coalition For Community Leadership

10 victim services focused organizations in Colorado are provided with sub grants and capacity-building through the Community Crime Victim Services (CCVS) and Community Voices projects funded through State or Federal funding. The projects work to reduce repeat victimization and expand community-based support services to crime victims. Services are focused on those who are historically underserved by crime victim services, namely people of color, men, and young adults. This model helps smaller CFBOs, generally in marginalized communities of color and rural communities, that are unable to access traditional grant funding despite being competent at serving their communities and are more able to build relationships with traditionally hard to reach target populations. 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.

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.
