California AB785 establishes a grant program to fund community-driven solutions aimed at reducing violence in neighborhoods and schools.

California AB785 creates the Community Violence Interdiction Grant Program, administered by the California Health and Human Services Agency. The program provides funding to local community programs that implement evidence-based interventions to reduce violence and gang involvement. Eligible programs include focused-deterrence collaborative programs, recreation- and health-based interventions for youth, and youth diversion programs. Grants are awarded competitively, with preference given to areas disproportionately impacted by violence and gang involvement.
