What We Track

CVI-PATH focuses on bills introduced through the legislative process and does not include comprehensive information on policy changes made through other avenues, such as executive orders. The tracker also excludes monies from federal funding sources such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), unless otherwise specified.  

We track the following main policy categories:

Companion Bill

The Companion Bill category is specifically designed to track similar or identical pieces of legislation that are introduced concurrently in both the Senate and the House. 

Funding

The Funding category consolidates all CVI-related appropriations, including annual appropriations, jurisdiction and program-specific allocations, and some funding for broader purposes that include CVI. Funding may be related to the establishment or continuation of programs focused on community-based organizations working in violence intervention and prevention, accounting for both increases and decreases in funding.

However, it excludes bills related to the reauthorization and expansion of state programs focused on altering the program’s scope rather than funding. Funding primarily focused on law enforcement or appropriations not clearly inclusive of CVI are also not considered under this category.

Medicaid

The Medicaid category is defined by specific criteria focused on Medicaid’s role in funding violence prevention and intervention. It includes legislation that enables state Medicaid agencies to reimburse for violence prevention services, particularly those expanding coverage for CVI services or authorizing the use of Medicaid funds for such purposes. 

New Office/Agency

The New Office/Agency category includes legislation that aims to create statewide offices or agencies specifically dedicated to CVI. This category focuses on new institutional structures with a clear mandate to address and reduce community violence through intervention and prevention strategies, though they may have a broader mandate. 

The category excludes efforts that do not specifically focus on reducing community violence, are designed for local or non-statewide efforts, or lack a clear jurisdictional mandate for statewide CVI activities. 

New Program/Fund

The New Program/Fund category encompasses legislation aimed at creating new grant programs or funds specifically for CVI. This includes bills that establish new programs for CBOs focused on violence intervention and prevention. The category is inclusive of initiatives with or without specified appropriations and those directing federal funds to establish CVI programs. 

However, it excludes reauthorization or expansion of existing grant programs, funding for law enforcement or taskforces, and preventative programs not centered on community violence. The focus is on new, dedicated initiatives for CVI, clearly distinguishing them from broader or previously established programs.

Reauthorization/Expansion

The Reauthorization/Expansion category focuses on legislation that renews or broadens existing Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs or funds. In addition to legislation reauthorizing existing programs, this category also captures expansions and modifications to existing state-level CVI programs, such as expanding service coverage to new cities or populations. The focus is on enhancing and sustaining ongoing CVI initiatives. 

However, this category excludes newly established grant programs or funds, expansions that only involve budget increases without substantive changes to the program’s scope or mandate. Legislative changes shifting the program’s focus away from CVI are marked under this category as a “regression.”

Tax

The Tax category refers to legislation that creates or increases taxes with the explicit intention of directing the revenue generated towards CVI programs and efforts. This category focuses on creating sustainable funding streams for CVI initiatives through taxation. 

This category excludes bills that do not direct a significant share of the resulting tax revenue to CVI work. 

Workforce Development

The Workforce Development category includes legislation focused on aiding the CVI workforce. It encompasses bills that provide support for CVI workers in aspects such as, but not limited to, training, workforce development, improved wages, benefits, and wellness programs. 

This category excludes legislation that does not specifically center the training, development, and well-being of CVI workers, ensuring a focused approach on the human resource aspect of CVI initiatives. 

Note

While we strive to track jurisdiction- and program-specific allocations, we may not have access to complete information about every organization operating within every state. CVI-PATH should not be considered an exhaustive picture of all public funding received by community violence intervention organizations.
