Since February, NOVPN Director Shantay Jackson and her team have been working with the Columbus Office of Violence Prevention to understand and strengthen the city’s community violence intervention (CVI) ecosystem. "You have a fairly diverse range of programs that are offered to folks who are at the highest risk of gun violence," Director Jackson said. "What we saw that is really working well is the willingness to go and meet people where they are. One of the biggest problems that we see in so many communities across the country is folks feeling like resources are out of their reach."

The plan is built on a study conducted by Bloomberg Fellow Nehali V. and her partners at the National Institute of Criminal Justice Reform which found that the average cost of a fatal shooting in Toledo was over $800,000, inclusive of public safety, legal, and hospital costs.
