TL;DR (generated · confidence: high)

The Office of Violence Prevention documents firearm homicide reductions through its CVI program, with strongest progress in shootings and targeted demographics. Community violence trends show variable success: firearm homicides declining in young Black and Brown men in gang-involved contexts, but all homicides remain elevated and houseless homicide victims are increasing as a proportion of all homicides.

Key points (each cites a PDF page):

All homicides (firearm and non-firearm combined) show uneven progress across community violence types (p. 1104)
Firearm homicides specifically are declining, indicating measurable progress in reducing gun violence (p. 1104)
Total shootings (both injury and non-injury) show the greatest progress compared to other violence metrics (p. 1105)
Demographic analysis shows strongest firearm homicide reductions among young Black and Brown men associated with or actively involved in gangs/groups/crews, where resources and programming have been concentrated (p. 1105)
Houseless homicide victims are growing as a share of all homicides, indicating need for dedicated culturally-competent CVI services (p. 1106)

Detailed Program Data Including community and gun violence trends and CVI program outputs. All Homicides, which includes firearm and non-firearm homicides and indicates that we have not seen similar levels of progress across all types of community violence. Firearm Homicides, indicating the progress being made to reduce gun violence. 11

Total Shootings, indicating that we have made the greatest progress regarding reducing total shootings, injury and non-injury. Demographic Analysis of Firearm Homicides, indicating that where resources and programming have been dedicated – namely focusing on young Black and Brown men who are associated with or actively involved in gangs/groups/crews – we are seeing the greatest reductions in firearm homicides. 12

Houseless Homicide Victims appear to be growing as a share of all homicides and suggest the need for dedicated cultural-competent CVI services to meet this emerging need. 13
