The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking applications to provide national training and technical assistance to local and tribal partners to plan and implement place-based, community-oriented strategies to address persistent and high crime neighborhood issues as part of a broader neighborhood revitalization or redevelopment initiative.
This program furthers the Department’s mission by leading efforts to enhance the capacity of local and tribal communities to effectively target and address significant and violent crime. The Innovations in Community-Based Crime Reduction program is part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods Suite of programs, which is focused on reducing violent crime.
The goal of the CBCR TTA Program is to support the needs of the local CBCR sites (and others as requested by BJA) to ensure that local results are achieved through ongoing development and management of the CBCR Program.
Objectives
The objectives of the CBCR TTA Program are to proactively manage, facilitate, and support:
- Place-based, community-oriented strategies to effectively identify, assess, and target violent and serious crime hot spots or crime problems.
- Effective integration of law enforcement strategies into place- and community-oriented strategies.
- Collaborative partnerships and trust building among law enforcement, criminal justice system partners, and community members.
- A local planning process to clearly define crime drivers and to select a set of data-driven strategies that link directly to the identified crime drivers.
- The transition of local sites from planning to implementation phases and to design a process to track their progress using a structured implementation plan as each site’s roadmap.
- A broad base of strategies to address the drivers of crime, including not only crime prevention and enforcement but use of tools that can address conditions of distress and risk for residents in the community.
- Proactive engagement with current and future CBCR grantees to assess their progress, address challenges, and identify sustainable solutions.
- Cross-sector and community partnerships, particularly with criminal justice, community and economic development, and social service partners.
- Ongoing growth and refinement of the CBCR Program model to help achieve local site success.
