RPSA Violence Prevention Services

About this grant

Firearm violence has deeply harmed neighborhoods, communities, and the entire State of Illinois, both through the immediate loss of life and the long-term, harmful effects of trauma experienced by victims, witnesses, and community members. According to the 2024 U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, Firearm Violence: A Public Health Crisis in America, these impacts are felt disproportionately by communities impacted by poverty and other factors.
