CPC to Approve Candidates to Receive Grant Funding for Violence Prevention, Restorative-Justice, and Mediation Programs

Cleveland, OH – Today, the Community Police Commission (CPC) will hold a special meeting to bring forward the proposed list of candidates to receive grant funding from the 2023 CPC Community Grants Program to be deliberated and decided on by the full commission.

The CPC has a duty according to Charter §115-5 to allocate the just over $1 million in grant funding to “community-based violence-prevention, restorative-justice, and mediation programs to reduce the need for police activity.” Members of the Budget and Grants Committee have completed their review process which included interviews with qualifying applicants to ensure all proposed programs align with the city charter.

It’s anticipated that the final list of grant recipients will be made available following the meeting. For more information about the CPC community grants program, visit: clecpc.org/community-grants.clecpc.org/community-grants.
