Description
The Kansas State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Grant provides funding to support state, local, and tribal efforts to prevent or reduce gun violence and violent crime across Kansas. Administered by the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP), SCIP funds initiatives that address behavioral health crisis intervention, court-based programs (such as mental health, drug, and veteran’s treatment courts), and targeted law enforcement crisis response. Projects must align with the priorities in the Kansas SCIP Plan, which emphasizes evidence-based, trauma-informed, and community-centered approaches to crisis intervention and gun violence prevention.
