Call for Applications for Crime Prevention Projects – Canada

Deadline: 6-Oct-21

The Government of Canada is launching Call for Applications for crime prevention projects. Keeping their streets and communities safe includes investing in protecting the youth from involvement in crime. That is why the Government of Canada is investing in crime prevention projects tailored to the needs of youth, through the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS).

The Government of Canada recognizes that many systemic barriers including anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, intergenerational trauma and social alienation, are risk factors linked to lack of opportunity and possible involvement in the Criminal Justice System.
The government recognizes that these systemic barriers disproportionately affect Black and Indigenous youth, including boys, young men, girls, young women and the 2SLGBTQ+ community. They are committed to a healthier and more inclusive Canada, and this includes investments to promote protective factors and address related risk factors among at-risk children and youth.
Priorities

Eligible applicants can apply for funding under the following priorities:

  • New multi-sectoral community-driven direct intervention projects prioritizing Black and Indigenous youth.
  • Research projects on multi-sectoral community-driven crime prevention initiatives prioritizing Black and Indigenous youth.
  • Research projects on the impacts of the pandemic on crime prevention issues such as family violence, substance abuse, mental health and/or service delivery.
Funding Information
