DOJ cuts $500M in grants for local police and nonprofits, affecting community violence programs.
The US Justice Department has cut hundreds of public safety grants to local police and nonprofits, affecting community violence intervention programs.
The grants, totaling around $500 million, were canceled in late April, leaving the organizations scrambling for alternative funding.
The Trump administration cited a lack of alignment with its priorities, while the Biden administration had previously supported these programs through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, allocating $250 million over five years.
Critics argue that the decision to cut funding was made without evaluating the programs' effectiveness.
The DOJ stated it is committed to hearing appeals to restore funding where appropriate.
