Technical Assistance Projects
California Cities Gang Prevention Network
NLC and the Oakland-based National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) have initiated a network of 13 major cities in California to combat gang violence and victimization. The California Cities Gang Prevention Network, the first of its kind in the nation, focuses on successful policies and practices that interweave prevention, intervention, enforcement and a community's "moral voice" as an alternative to prison-only solutions.
NLC and NCCD launched the three-year project with support from the California Wellness Foundation, the California Endowment, the East Bay Community Foundation, and the Richmond Children's Foundation.
Participating cities in California include Fresno, Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley), Oakland, Oxnard, Richmond, Sacramento, Salinas, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Santa Rosa, and Stockton. Insights from this effort will be shared broadly with other communities in California and throughout the nation.
