Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BOARD OF STATE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000,000 FOR THE CALIFORNIA VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION (CALVIP) GRANT FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2026, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2029, AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF GRANT AGREEMENTS In August 2025, the City of Stockton submitted an application to the State of California’s Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) California Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) Grant; and In February 2026, the City of Stockton Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) was notified by the BSCC that the application was approved for $2,000,000 for a three-year period; and The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) proposes to expand Stockton’s evidence-based violence prevention strategy by embedding trained outreach workers (Peacekeepers) on 6 Stockton school campuses to mediate conflicts, mentor youth, and intervene before violence occurs. A coordinated Family Support Team (FST) will connect youth and families to counseling, education support, and other wraparound services that address the root causes of violence. The program will also implement the 24/7 TAP-IN crisis hotline and mobile response team to provide real-time de-escalation when youth are at immediate risk of retaliation or involvement in violence; and This project builds on Stockton’s proven focused deterrence framework, which independent research found reduced shootings among participating gang members by 40% and contributed to significant reductions in homicides and recidivism. Together, these strategies will strengthen early intervention, improve family stabilization, and further reduce youth violence in Stockton. The grant period runs from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement from the State of California Board of State Community Corrections, in the amount of $2,000,000.
Authorize the City Manager to appropriate grant revenues and expenditures in the amount of $2,000,000.

Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute and manage sub-recipient and consultant agreements in the amounts consistent with the Grant Agreement.
