On June 9, 2022, the City of Pomona was notified by the Board of State and Community Corrections of an award amounting to $5,144,940 through the California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant Program funds for a three-and-a-half-year period. The Pomona Partnership (Partnership) for Violence Prevention, which consists of the City’s newly formed Violence Prevention Division, the Pomona Police Department, and collaborating community agencies, will focus on CalVIP strategies on the three aspects of community need. Those strategies are as follows: Those individuals who are at extraordinary risk of violence and incarceration and who struggle with multiple negative factors; surrounding local communities that have been traumatized by violence, resulting in a lack of social cohesion; and The historical relationships and conditions in the community exacerbated by COVID-19, require systemic change and a cultural shift in the relations between the community and law enforcement.
As FY 2023-24 concluded, staff identified $2,206,254 in unexpended funds within the CalVIP Fund. These funds, originally budgeted for various activities, remained unused. To ensure their availability for the intended purposes, this amount needs to be carried over and appropriated in FY 2024-25. The reappropriation will provide the necessary expenditure authority for these funds in the new fiscal year, allowing for the completion of planned activities not executed in the previous year. This carryover process ensures continuity in program implementation.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS: This supports the FY 2021-22 City Council Priority 1: Fiscal and Operational Responsibility – Goal C: Obtain additional grant funding and other revenues to help achieve City goals.
