Safe Homes
No one is injured, killed or threatened by a gun in a home and all firearm suicides are prevented
Our Vision
To harness the collective power of individuals, communities, corporate leaders, government and philanthropy to ensure that homes and communities in California are safe and free from death, injury and trauma caused by gun violence.
Safe Communities
All neighborhoods are free from gun violence including our schools, houses of worship, community spaces and workplaces; and the cycle of gun violence is broken in California’s impacted communities
In the Spotlight
Aligned vision for a healthier and safer California $21 million increase ($9 million last year) for public funding of community-based, gun violence intervention strategies. Governor Newsom signed into law the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget that includes $30 million CalVIP. Hope and Heal Fund provided funding for forums to educate policymakers on successful strategies.
Implications For California More California communities can scale up their efforts to interrupt gun violence and many communities will now have funding to finally implement effective strategies.
