OPHS has four objectives for the grant program:
• Improve the level of knowledge, communication and collaboration to form necessary strategies to reduce violent crime.
• Engage residents who are most at risk of violent victimization — directing them to community-based services.
• Build local coalitions to empower residents to mobilize and send anti-violence messages regarding the consequences of engaging in violence.
• Establish a foundation to support evidence-informed justice system practices and strategies that actively include community partners in Indianapolis.
