Past Grants

In 2021, Kalamazoo declared gun violence a public health crisis, prompting the development of the Blueprint for Peace, a data-driven strategy aimed at reducing violence through community engagement and targeted investments in priority neighborhoods. The project focuses on establishing a comprehensive Community Information Exchange (CIE) that enables health care providers and community organizations to share information and coordinate services, ultimately supporting youth aged 10 to 17 and their families in addressing social determinants of health and breaking cycles of violence.
