The District of Columbia (“DC” or “District”) Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) mission is to foster community-based strategies to help prevent violence and increase public safety. To support this mission, the ONSE announces the availability of funding offered through the Public Safety Grants Amendment Act of 2023, D.C. Law 25-0050.
ONSE is committed to programs that intervene directly with individuals experiencing gun violence and provide evidence–based programming to disrupt the cycle of gun violence. ONSE is looking to support a community-based organization that can leverage its expertise and unique perspectives to design and implement gun violence prevention programs in priority communities.
ONSE seeks applications that oversee the development of proactive strategies aimed at fostering meaningful relationships in the District of Columbia’s most violent communities, steering those involved in gun violence (or at a high risk of gun violence) into alternative positive choices, mediating neighborhood conflicts, and responding to neighborhood crisis related to gun violence. ONSE has determined the priority communities based on recent violent crime data.
