Description
The Community Crime Prevention Initiative (CCPI), run by Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs, invests in economic development and community services through community grant and loan programs. The Community Grant Program supports programs, projects, and initiatives through partnerships with The Denver Foundation, Latino Coalition for Community Leadership, and The Trinidad Community Foundation.
Community grant priorities include improving academic achievement and strengthening families through trauma recovery, support for crime survivors, increased employment, and reduced recidivism. The program also supports neighborhood connections, community engagement, leadership development, and safer, more usable common outdoor spaces. A complementary Small Business Loan Program operates through non-depository Community Development Financial Institutions serving north Aurora, southeast Colorado Springs, and Trinidad.
