California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative
1.Description of Community Need
1.1.Target Area Needs that Contribute to Disproportionate Impact of Violence The incidence of violent crimes in West Contra Costa County have remained high in comparison to other communities, despite violence reduction activities supported by previous rounds of CalVIP funding that have contributed to decreases in homicide rates and Part I crime in the region. The rate of violent crime in Richmond, the largest city in the county, in2019 was 931 per 100,000, in comparisonto the national average of 400 and the state of California average of 440 for that same year. These crimes include robbery and aggravated assault, which frequently involve the use of firearms. A high level of gun violence is an ongoing challenge in Richmond. Violence in the City of Richmond is driven by multiple, interconnected factors that include high levels of poverty, a history of local gang activity, and racial disparities. According to the U.S.
Census, Richmond’s residents are disproportionately Hispanic/Latinx (41%) and Black/African American (20%) compared to the county as a whole (26% and 9%, respectively) with a smaller White population (18% compared to 43%). Richmond is the third most densely populated community in Contra Costa County. The city’s poverty rate is 14%, compared to the county rate of 9%, and in 2019 its median household income was $68,472, compared to $107,135 for the county.
Historically, nearly all shootings in Richmond involved Black individuals. In recent years, shootings have involved increasing numbers of individuals who are Latinx. In 2020, there were 89 shootings that led to injury or death: 10 shootings, including four homicides, related to West Contra Costa’s unhoused population. The county’s 2020 Point In Time count found that 2,277 individuals are unhoused. In 2021, 30% of the 73 shootings that led to injury or death involved Latinx individuals. Community members who are engaged by street outreach workers report a growing need to provide violence prevention services to female-identified individuals.
Residents of Richmond and West Contra Costa County experience disparate rates of violence, trauma, and stress compared to residents of more affluent areas.
These disparities occur across correlated health indicators of: intentional injury, lethal violence, and homicide; poverty, substance use, contact with child welfare, law enforcement, and juvenile justice; and suspension, expulsion, and dropout from school 1 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative (Evident Change). Violently injured youth face increased risk of future victimization, and their physical, social, and emotional distress carries from adolescence into adulthood. In 2019, the Safe Return Project conducted a survey of over 100 youth and young adults in West Contra Costa. This survey found that almost every young person surveyed had lost a friend or family member to gun violence. Respondents identified therapy and mentorship as priorities for needed services. More than 75% of respondents were not employed, and 55% had not received any services to help transition back to school after incarceration. The table provides information on the rate of violent crime in the target community of Richmond (FBI Uniform Crime Report 2019, City of Richmond 2020-21).
Table 1: Violent Crimes in the City of Richmond
Type of Crime 2019 2020 2021
Homicide 16 22 16
Rape 36 93 60
Robbery (all types) 307 255 156
Aggravated Assault 675 396 272
Violent Crimes Subtotal1,034 766 504
Violent Crimes per 100,000 Population931 658 452
The City of Richmond has had a persistently high level of shooting calls for service and shots detected by the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system (Richmond Police Department). In 2020, there were 291 ShotSpotter Reports and 1,817 shooting calls for service (a 52% increase over the following year). In 2021, there were 266 ShotSpotter Reports and 1,582 shooting calls for service. The target population–young people in the 14-35 age range–faces a critical lack of connection and access to resources necessary to survive and thrive. They are disconnected from a wide array of necessary resources, including housing, health care, mental health care, substance use treatment, education, and job training.
1.2Target Area and/or Target Population
The proposedBeloved Community-Expanded Next LevelCollaborative (BC-ENLC)will expand its successful approach of buildingrelationships of support and 2 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative referral with mentors to serve a total of 535high-risk individuals in the City of Richmond, the neighboring cities of El Cerrito and San Pablo, and in Unincorporated North Richmond. Specific services will be provided to meet the needs of individuals who are Latinx, female-identified, or unhoused. The project will rely on Neighborhood Change Agents (NCAs) to identify the target population of young adults aged 14-35. NCAs serve as street outreach workers who are deeply connected to the neighborhoods in which they work and have worked to establish trusting relationships with community members.
NCAs obtain extensive information from their community networks about the individuals at highest risk of perpetrating violence or being victimized by violence.
As described in Section 1.1, the target area of West Contra Costa County continues to experience significantly higher levels of violent crime and gun violence in comparison to other regions of the state. The target population has been selected based upon research showing that a relatively small number of individuals in a given community are responsible for a disproportionate amount of the violent crime that occurs there. By focusing on this particular group, the BC-ENLC seeks to have the greatest possible impact. The proposed project will provide culturally responsive, gender-specific services to ensure that members of historically marginalized populations do not face additional trauma from microaggressions while on the path to stability.
2.Project Description
2.1Proposed Evidence-Based Violence Reduction Strategy
The BC-ENLCwill serve a total of 535 individualsin West Contra Costa County who are either at risk of involvement in criminal violence or are already involved in violence. Participants will enter the program through the work of two key project partners: lead agency Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) and the RYSE Center, both located in the City of Richmond. ONS will identify participants through street outreach conducted by NCAs, and conduct an intake and assessment. The RYSE Center partners with John Muir, Highland, and Children’s hospitals, along with the County Probation Department, for participant referrals, and also receives community-based referrals for victims of violence who haven’t been admitted to hospitals for services.
RYSE will conduct an intake and assessment for the participants it identifies.
Following referral and assessment, participants will be matched with one of three 3 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative evidence-based violence reduction programs that best meets their needs: ONS’ Operation Peacemaker Fellows; ONS’ Street Outreach; and RYSE Center’s Restorative Pathways Project (R2P2). Services to support participants’ needs and address the interconnected factors that contribute to violence will be provided by project partners including Richmond Police Activities League (RPAL) and The Safe Return Project. A total of 375 participants will enter the program through ONS. An additional 160 participants will enter R2P2 through the RYSE Center, which provides intensive case management and mentoring for youth and young adults admitted to local hospitals for crime-related injuries (gunshot, stabbings, assaults/beatings) and the Youth Justice Initiative, which offers transition services for youth, and school district referrals.
Participants in the program will receive services in one of the following three groups, based upon their point of entry into the program and the particular needs they exhibit:
Group 1: ONS-Operation Peacemaker Fellows—175 fellows (2 cohorts of 70 for 18 months, 1 cohort of 35 for 18 months)
The Fellowship was designed more than 10 years ago for young men who have been identified as most likely to be involved in gun violence in Richmond; now, ONS proposes to expand on the successful model to provide gender-specific services to participants who are female-identified. The individuals identified for this program are deeply immersed in Richmond’s street life and are difficult to reach through traditional approaches. They are significantly underserved due to a lack of community-based and culturally responsive organizations that have the capacity to support them. They have been selected for participation based upon data that shows that a very small number of young people (30 or less) are responsible for 70% of Richmond’s gun violence.
ONS will expand its staff capacity by hiring an additional eight new NCAs and and two administrative staff, following a rigorous recruitment process to ensure candidates have the particular experience and skills necessary for these positions.
Fellowship participants will receive the most intensive services, as nearly all are currently involved in violent criminal activity and are at greatest risk of involvement in further violent crime. ONS uses a strengths-based positive youth development framework, emphasizing authentic relationship building while respecting young people as equal participants in the work and as drivers of their own progress. The Fellows will 4 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative participate in a series of evidence-informed practices that include the following: street outreach (ONS); individual and group mentoring (ONS); support groups for young Latinx men (Safe Return); Sister Circles for female-identified participants (Safe Return); case management (ONS); individual and group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (RYSE); life skills training (ONS); stipends (ONS); structured activities (ONS); employment training and support (subcontracted through RPAL); and literacy services (LEAP). All Fellows will participate in informal tiered peer-to-peer mentoring to strengthen connections between participants, increase self-esteem and confidence, and provide and receive support achieving their goals.
Group 2: ONS-Street Outreach Participants—200 participants over 36 months As part of the process of street outreach, ONS staff will recruit a second group of participants who face lack of access to resources, particularly those who are unhoused, but who are at lower risk of involvement in gun violence and will receive a proportionate level of services. This group will be served with an emphasis on relationship building, cultural competence, and positive youth development. Evidence-informed practices provided to this group will include: street outreach (ONS); individual and group mentoring (ONS, RPAL); individual and group CBT (RYSE); support groups for young Latinx men (Safe Return); Sister Circles for female-identified participants (Safe Return); life skills training (ONS, RPAL); community service (RPAL); structured activities (RPAL); employment training and support (subcontracted through RPAL); gender-specific leadership building (Safe Return Project); and literacy services (LEAP).
Group 3: RYSE Center - RYSE Restorative Pathways Project (R2P2) and Contra Costa Probation Referrals—160 participants over 36 months The RYSE Center will collaborate closely with local hospitals, law enforcement, and the County Probation Department to provide services to referred youth who have been victims of violent crime, or involved in the criminal justice system. RYSE operates with an intensive relationship-based approach, seeking to engage with young people personally and build upon their strengths. RYSE will provide evidence-informed services to this group including: Hospital-Based Violence Intervention; individual and group mentoring; case management; individual and group clinical and non-clinical mental health supports, including Trauma Focused CBT; media and arts activities; education 5 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative and career preparation; and leadership and community organizing. The RYSE Center will support quarterly (and as needed) Trauma Stewardship and Vicarious Trauma Care for service providers and informal neighborhood leaders to support those who are experiencing secondary trauma from serving young people traumatized by violence.
These events will be focused on creating a network of support for community-based first responders to violence who may or may not have a formal role related to addressing youth violence. They will be open to any interested participants and will provide both material and emotional assistance to mitigate the impacts of secondary trauma.
The proposed multi-pronged strategy is focused on addressing the most critical needs of those involved in gun violence in Richmond and West Contra Costa County, by reaching out to individuals to provide caring relationships and access to services that can address the underlying causes of violence. These causes may include unresolved trauma, mental health challenges, addiction, family fragmentation, homelessness, educational deficits, and lack of income. Evidence for effectiveness is described below.
Street Outreachemploys staff who are culturally appropriateto the community they serve, and who work proactively to prevent violent conflict and retaliation. Staff engage individuals at the greatest risk to be perpetrators or victims of gun violence and link them with resources such as education and job training (Webster, D.W. et al.).
Mentoringsupports the healthy development of youthby addressing their need for positive adult interaction and role modeling (Tierney, Joseph P. et al.).Cognitive Behavioral Therapyhelps individuals overcome emotionaldistress and trauma by teaching skills to enhance self-control and reduce violence (Lipsey, M.W. et al.).
Hospital-Based Violence Interventioninvolves theprovision of culturally competent services to individuals receiving hospital care as victims of violence. Services include pre-admission and post-discharge crisis intervention, case management, and trauma-informed therapy (Cohen, Judith A. et al.).Life Skills Trainingreduces drug and alcohol use among young adolescents by promoting anti-drug values and self-management. Five published studies show that it reduces drug use by up to 75% and interpersonal violence by up to 50% (Botvin, G.J. et al.).Case Managementis a client-centered, goal-oriented process of assessing an individual’s need for particular services and collaborating with service providers in the community to help individuals 6 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative obtain those services. Individuals at risk for involvement in violence have complex and interrelated needs, making this approach especially effective (University of California, Los Angeles).Subsidized Employmentis employmentfor which the participant’s employer is wholly or partially reimbursed for wages. These programs provide work experience, training in soft skills and business skills, and self-esteem. Studies with a reentry population have shown significant reductions in recidivism for individuals participating in transitional employment opportunities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).Healing Circleshave been demonstratedto be a successful approach to helping communities heal from trauma, by bringing people together to acknowledge what has happened, offer non-judgmental acceptance, affirm their traditions, and develop shared support (Haggins et al.).
The BC-ENLC goal is to engage program participants in activities that deter them from involvement in violent crime, thereby eliminating the need for incarceration as a strategy for violence reduction. The proposed project aims to help halt the cycle of trauma and barriers to stability and self-sufficiency caused by incarceration.
2.2Project Participants
ONS has a more than 12-year history of building trust in the communities that it serves, established through the continuous daily presence of NCAs and Peacemakers and the active outreach of partners RPAL, RYSE, and Safe Return Project. This trust- and relationship-building has facilitated extensive access to the target population, most commonly individuals who have minimal contact with other kinds of supportive services.
NCAs are street outreach workers who are actively involved in the community on a daily basis and have a deep knowledge of the individuals most involved in violent activity through their community networks. NCAs engage with community members on social media, sustaining relationships that persist long after the participant has successfully exited the program. Law enforcement partners, and others, also identify high-risk individuals. Referral to the ONS Fellowship takes place through street outreach, law enforcement and health systems, and community referrals through RYSE Youth Center.
Identification of participants for ONS Street Outreach takes place through direct outreach by NCAs. RYSE Center’s R2P2 receives referrals from local hospitals, law enforcement, and the County Probation Department.
7 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative ONS and RYSE have worked to develop programs that prioritize relationship building to ensure sustained engagement, and address the range of services needed by each participant. Participants in the Peacemaker Fellows program complete a LifeMap assessment every six months to identify critical needs, and meet multiple times per week with their NCA mentors to discuss their goals and the next steps required to achieve them. Because participants are involved in defining their own goals, rather than having these imposed by others, they build internal motivation for participation in the program, which creates a greater likelihood of sustained engagement.
Services received by participants are determined collaboratively through the relationship of participants with program staff. NCAs work with Fellows to collaboratively develop life goals and an action plan, which are documented in the form of a LifeMap.
This process includes the assessment of needs and risks to determine what kind of services and activities will be most effective in reducing the likelihood of involvement in violence. The Hospital-Based Violence Intervention program operated by RYSE incorporates a clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate trauma-informed treatment strategy.
2.3Project Work Plan
See attached.
3.Organizational Capacity and Coordination
3.1Experience, Staffing, Support, and Partnerships Lead Agency will Use The lead agency, theCity of Richmond Office of NeighborhoodSafety (ONS), has served the City for more than 12 years. ONS will provide administrative and fiscal oversight for the project, along with street outreach, mentoring, and case management.
Current ONS staff include a Program Administrator, Program Manager, and four full-time NCAs. For the proposed project, ONS will leverage long-standing relationships with partner organizations who have a successful history serving the target population.
The RYSE Centerwas established in 2008 out of a youthorganizing movement, initiated in response to a series of homicides near Richmond High School. RYSE's mission is to create safe spaces grounded in social justice that build youth power for young people to love, learn, educate, heal, and transform lives and communities. Since opening, RYSE has served as a critical responder to acute incidents of violence and 8 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative trauma. RYSE will deliver individual and group mentoring, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, media and arts activities, and education and career preparation. The Richmond Police Activities League (RPAL), a community-basedorganization formed in 1982 to provide a positive alternative to the streets for youth between 5 and 18 years of age, will provide mentoring, life skills training, anger management, community service placements, service-learning, and recreational activities. RPAL will refer participants to Richmond Employment & Training, whose programs include a continuum of education and training opportunities that support a skilled workforce, education and workshop training for youth, and direct services to local businesses.The Safe Return Projectis a non-profit organization run by formerly incarcerated, justice impacted, and other community members organizing to end mass incarceration and racial disparities. Safe Return re-enfranchises community members who have been disenfranchised due to criminalization, and accomplishes this goal through community organizing, participatory action research, policy advocacy and systems change. ONS will contract withLiteracy for Every Adult Program,a free program sponsoredby the Richmond Public Library that helps adults develop the skills and confidence they need to achieve their individual goals, to provide participants with literacy skills training.
3.2Enhancing Coordination of Existing Violence Prevention ONS and its partners have a long history of offering violence prevention and intervention services in the target communities, and actively coordinate their delivery of services with one another and with other programs to minimize duplication and address the various interrelated factors that contribute to violence. Partners’ consistent, ongoing relationships are essential to delivering a coordinated array of services, and regularly communicating to share information about participant needs and referring participants for services. At monthly meetings, partners discuss program implementation, monitoring and evaluation of data on program outcomes, and collaborative problem solving.
Accurate data tracking is vital to support coordination. ONS maintains a database to track all engagements with participants, including length of the interaction, achievements/goals met, conflicts mediated, and other relevant details. RPAL uses sign-in sheets to track participation, and Safe Return tracks data through sign-in sheets, weekly points of contact, quarterly assessments, and service referral handoffs. 9 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative
3.3Plan for Training and Supporting Staff and/or Subcontractors The program activities will be delivered by existing ONS, RYSE, RPAL, and LEAP staff, who have extensive experience delivering the proposed services to the project’s target population. Staff for all programs have been hired because they reflect the community they serve, and are effective at relating to youth and young adults in that community. ONS will hire an additional eight NCAs and two administrative staff to support the Fellowship and Street Outreach programs. ONS will conduct a rigorous recruitment and hiring process to ensure NCA candidates have the specific skills and experience needed to work with individuals at high risk of gun violence who belong to Black, Latinx, female-identified, LGBTQ, and unhoused communities. ONS staff will provide these new NCAs with several months of evidence-based, culturally responsive training. RYSE Youth Center will provide a series of training sessions on implementing a trauma-informed and healing-centered system of care throughout the project period.
3.4Cultural Competence of Staff and Contractors
Staff in the partner organizations reflect and come from the diverse experiences of young people in the community: two-thirds of staff at ONS are formerly system-involved, and more than a third of staff at the RYSE Center are individuals who were previous participants in RYSE programs. Staff in each of the partner organizations also have experience and training in cultural competency, and place a high value on diversity. These staff have been actively involved in the development of the project design and will share in implementation.
3.5Plan for Involvement of Individuals Impacted by Violence Project partners are committed to centering individuals impacted by violence in this work, and often have shared life experiences with participants. Safe Return was founded, and is currently led, by formerly incarcerated, justice impacted individuals.
ONS, RYSE, RPAL, and Safe Return are all led by people of color who have lived experience belonging to structurally marginalized and targeted communities. ONS’ Fellowship was designed by participants to reflect their specific needs as individuals impacted by violence, and R2P2 exclusively works with young people who have been victims of shooting. During intake and assessment, ONS and RYSE warmly support participants to identify their own goals, which inform their individualized service delivery. 10 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative
3.6Plan for Obtaining Outside Technical Assistance
ONS holds ongoing consultations that bring in outside experts to provide information and training for staff and partners regarding best practices for the different components of the program. These meetings also include peer-to-peer led Technical Assistance with Advance Peace programs in Sacramento and Stockton that operate under a similar violence reduction model. Research on the Positive Youth Justice Initiative points to the value of providing peer-to-peer technical assistance as a strategy to strengthen community-based organizations’ capacity building (Wolf, A. et al.).
4.Project Evaluation and Monitoring
4.1Entity that will Conduct Project Evaluation
Evident Change (EC)(formerly known as the NationalCouncil on Crime and Delinquency) will serve as the evaluation partner for the proposed project. EC, a nonprofit research organization based in Oakland, has extensive experience collaborating with local government agencies and community-based organizations to provide evaluation and monitoring services, including partnering with ONS on previous CalVIP and CalGRIP programs. During project start-up, EC will work with partners to finalize the project’s evaluation goals and methods, assess types of data partners are already collecting, and identify additional data needed for the evaluation. During project implementation, EC will regularly monitor data quality and determine if changes may benefit data collection or entry processes. EC will attend monthly grant partner meetings to discuss program implementation and evaluation and will engage in collaboratively developing solutions if challenges arise. EC will provide quarterly data summaries to project partners to assess real-time program implementation and preliminary outcomes.
EC will prepare two reports for the evaluation: 1) an interim report after about one year of service delivery, with an initial assessment of BC-ENLC’s progress in achieving intended outcomes; and 2) the final local evaluation report. Regular communication of data/results to partners throughout the grant period will support adjustments, if needed, to service delivery to improve project processes, performance, and outcomes.
4.2Process and Outcome Indicators
Process Measures:1) Number of participants served;2) Demographics of participants such as race/ethnicity, gender identity, etc.; 3) Type(s) of services/supports 11 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Application Narrative in which participants engage; 4) Number of participants who are unhoused who receive services through Street Outreach; 5) Number of participants who complete the ONS Operation Peacemaker Fellowship; 6) Number of potential gun violence conflicts interrupted or mediated; 7) Number of Trauma Stewardship and Healing Circles conducted or supported; and 8) Number of trainings on trauma-informed services and practices attended by project partners.Outcome Measures:1) Participants feel supported by program staff; 2) Participants develop conflict resolution skills; 3) Participants feel that participation in services supporting their mental health is beneficial; 4) Participants identify individual goals in areas such as housing, education, or employment; 5) Participants who are female-identified feel that they have received services that address their specific needs; 6) Number of Fellows not injured by gun violence; 7) Number of Fellows who remain alive; 8) Number of Fellows who participate in emergency relocation services; and 9) Project partners increase their knowledge of and/or facilitate implementation of trauma-informed strategies to support program participants and community-based first responders to violence.
4.3Plan for Collecting and Evaluating Baseline and Outcome Data EC proposes to implement a non-experimental research design to evaluate the BC-ENLC. Evaluation processes and tools will be designed to ensure collection of needed data without placing undue burden on evaluation participants. EC will facilitate the development of data sharing agreements as needed. Collection of quantitative and qualitative data will include program-related data and conducting surveys, interviews, and/or focus groups with program participants and staff. Participants will be asked to respond to a pre/post self-report survey to assess areas such as development of connections with supportive adults, use of pro-social conflict resolution, perceptions of engaging in mental health services, and development of individual goals. A subset of participants and staff will be invited to engage in qualitative interviews or focus groups to explore programming impacts, successes, and challenges; program participants will receive an incentive for this engagement. EC will obtain and analyze administrative data from local external sources (law enforcement, hospital emergency departments) that will provide community-level contextual information and help assess the program’s impact. 12 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant City of Richmond Office of Neighborhood Safety | Bibliography Bibliography

Re: Letter of Intent for the California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP 2022-2025) Grant
Dear BSCC:
This letter is to inform you that the City of Richmond’s Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) intends to apply for the 2022-2025 CalVIP Grant by the February 11, 2022 deadline. ONS proposes to use CalVIP funding to expand effective violence reduction initiatives in the Contra Costa County communities that are disproportionately impacted by violence.
ONS will partner with local organizations including RYSE Center, Richmond Police Athletic League (RPAL), Safe Return Project, and Evident Change to serve high-risk individuals in the cities of Richmond, El Cerrito, and San Pablo and in Unincorporated North Richmond. Proposed activities include street outreach, cognitive behavioral therapy, mentoring, life skills training, case management, and subsidized employment to reduce gun violence and promote positive mental health and pro-social skills.
ONS is a non-law enforcement agency within the City of Richmond, California government that has worked for 14 years to provide and coordinate trauma responsive services and opportunities for those identified to be the most likely victims of gun violence. Its mission is to reduce firearm assaults and associated injury and deaths by building ongoing, trusting relationships within high- risk communities. ONS was awarded the 2018-2020 and 2020-2023 California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant administered by BSCC. Additional information about ONS may be found at: www.ci.richmond.ca.us/271/Office-of-Neighborhood-Safety.
Evident Change (formerly known as the National Council on Crime and Delinquency) will serve as the evaluation partner for the proposed project. In this role, Evident Change will work with the project partners to develop and implement the local evaluation. Evident Change will also analyze and report on the evaluation findings; this includes regular sharing of evaluation data with 2 partners and preparing the final local evaluation report. Evident Change has extensive experience collaborating with local government agencies and community-based organizations to provide evaluation services, including partnering with ONS on previous CalVIP and CalGRIP program evaluations.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with BSCC to support the provision of intervention and prevention services related to gun violence in the Richmond community. Please contact Caroline Glesmann, Evident Change researcher, at (800) 306-6223 or [email protected] if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Katherine Park
Chief Executive Officer
