The California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) has approved a $6 million grant to be awarded to PVJOBS as part of a statewide effort to break the cycle of violence, gang activity and recidivism in at-risk communities. PVJOBS will utilize the funds to expand its services to those with barriers to employment due to such at-risk factors as a history with the justice system and gang involvement.

“This is an enormous opportunity for cities and communities throughout California to magnify the lifesaving work that is already happening and to create safer neighborhoods.”
