Reducing Violence. Strengthening Communities.

The Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Program is a city-sponsored initiative designed to reduce fatal and non-fatal shootings in Montgomery through a series of evidence-based interventions. By working directly with individuals and communities most affected by gun violence, the program fosters safety, healing, and long-term solutions.
