Data Driven

Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P), convened by Metropolitan Family Services, is a framework that provides a comprehensive, long-term approach to reducing violence and gang activity among the individuals and communities it serves.

With newly gained funding and partnership with CP4P, Project H.O.O.D. has launched a new violence reduction initiative that targets the Woodlawn community.

The Violence Impact Team (VIT) is a data-driven, violence reduction initiative.

 

Meet James Highsmith

A key component of Project H.O.O.D.’s mission is to be peacemakers in our communities to stop the senseless violence that has gripped our city.

Our Model

The model relies on five working components that together anticipate and disrupt the transmission of violence from one person to the next. 

  • Outreach and Conflict Mediation 

  • Community Mobilization 

  • Education 

  • Faith base leadership involvement

  • Law enforcement participation

The VIT at Project H.O.O.D. is working every day to mediate conflict, strengthen community ties, transform lives, and reduce gun violence.
