Cities United

Cities United works with mayors, leaders, and young people nationwide to reduce homicides and shootings among young Black men and boys by 50%, and build safe, healthy, and hopeful communities. Our grant helps a network of 60 cities and counties in the development and implementation of comprehensive public safety plans and provides assistance to local organizations that support young Black leaders. Cities United also receives additional support from us as a founding member of the Coalition Addressing Public Safety (CAPS) which seeks to create an ecosystem approach to reducing community violence.
