The Washington Department of Commerce, hereafter called "COMMERCE,” is initiating this Request for Proposals (RFP) for the implementation of firearm violence intervention strategies to improve public health and safety by supporting effective firearm violence reduction initiatives in communities disproportionately affected by firearm violence. The community intervention grants will support local communities with evidence-based, culturally relevant, and communityled firearm violence intervention strategies. Programs will prioritize youth and young adults at high risk of firearm violence in areas with high rates of such incidents. The grant funds aim to assist those most likely to perpetrate or be victims of firearm violence.
