Chesapeake & Portsmouth Safety Coordinator

The $500,000 funding secured by Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine will enable LISC Hampton Roads to launch the Office of the Safety Coordinator, a crucial step in addressing the complex issues of crime and violence in Portsmouth and Chesapeake. By fostering cross-sector collaboration, engaging community members, and implementing data-driven strategies, this project aims to create sustainable improvements in community safety and justice. Through the dedicated efforts of the Safety Coordinator and the support of a comprehensive network of stakeholders, this initiative will work to build safer, more resilient communities where all residents can thrive.
