Violence Prevention Grant
On February 21, 2023, the Division of Community Development (DCD) issued an open and competitive request for Proposals (RFP) for the Violence Prevention Program to fund eligible programs and projects sponsored by public agencies or non-profit organizations. For the 2023 program year, the City of Jersey City has designated 500,000 to be utilized through Community Development Block Grants Cares Act (CDBG-CV)
The Violence Prevention Grant is focused on addressing the issue of violence in the community through prevention and intervention activities. The grant is designed to support programs and initiatives that provide services to address issues regarding youth violence and reduction in recidivism rates. The Violence Prevention Grant is a valuable tool for the community to address the issue of violence and promote safety and security for all residents. The grant can help reduce violent incidents and create a safer community for all by supporting prevention and intervention activities.
The City encourages local community groups that provide quantifiable benefits to the low and moderate-income population to apply. Since the funding income source is limited, this is a competitive application process. The review criteria and eligibility requirements are noted in the RFP. The City of Jersey City HUD Entitlement Program goals are consistent with its adopted 2020-2024 five-year Consolidated Plan and the National Objectives defined by The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The deadline for submission of proposals is Wednesday, March 22nd, at 11:59 pm. No proposals will be accepted after this date.

Community Development Block Grant - Public Facilities (CDBG-PF)
Under the CDBG-PF Program, eligible projects may use funds to undertake a variety of public facilities and public improvement projects.
