Federal Government Launches Website on Resources to Prevent Targeted Violence and Terrorism

DHS, along with other federal partners, recently launched a new website, PreventionResourceFinder.gov, to help prevent targeted violence and terrorism by giving the public easier access to available grants, research, training opportunities, and other resources across 17 federal agencies.

The website emphasizes preventing targeted violence and terrorism requires a community approach, with stakeholders across a wide range of professions contributing to keep our communities safe. The website is organized into five searchable categories: community support resources; information-sharing platforms; grant funding opportunities; evidence-based research; and training opportunities. Each category is further organized by the audience it is intended to reach, including community partners, faith-based organizations, educators, behavioral health providers, and others. DHS recently released Notices of Funding Opportunity for Fiscal Year 2023 Preparedness Grants, including the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and for the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program. The website offers a wide array of resources, including educational materials, trainings, and information on grant funding. Users will be able to access multimedia content such as testimonials and videos. Users can filter content by federal agency, intended audience, keyword, department, or office.
