Financial Assistance for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention

Objective

The TVTP Grant Program has six objectives: • The local community has awareness of the signs that someone may be escalating towards violence and of the threats of targeted violence and terrorism. • The local community has awareness of both risk factors for – and protective factors against – escalation to violence. • Members of the local community engage the broadest and most diverse set of local stakeholders, sharing resources and best practices and building trusted partnerships to address targeted violence and terrorism. •Members of the local community can act on bystander training and help individuals before they escalate to violence by understanding the role of, and the means to contact, threat assessment, and management teams. • Members of the local community have access to multi-disciplinary threat assessment and management teams comprised of individuals such as psychologists, educators, faith leaders, and medical personnel that can provide support to an individual before an act of violence takes place. • The local community has programs that address risk factors for, and strengthen protective factors against, escalation to violence, including recidivism reduction programming. Priorities: The TVTP Grant Program has five priorities: • Implementing Prevention Capabilities in Small and Mid-Sized Communities; • Advancing Equity in Awards and Engaging Underserved Communities in Prevention; • Addressing Online Aspects of Targeted Violence and Terrorism; • Preventing Domestic Violent Extremism; and • Enhancing Local Threat Assessment and Management Capabilities.
