The  Jewish Fund Teen Board awarded a $19,000 grant to Connect Detroit, a nonprofit organization that strives to address community problems by facilitating and mobilizing funding in support of collaborative community solutions. The funds are earmarked for Connect Detroit’s DLIVE program, a unique hospital-based violence intervention program providing social services and expanded trauma care for youths hospitalized because of violence in Detroit.

The program is based out of Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit, which receives the greatest amount of penetrating trauma injuries in Detroit, and it is giving victims of violence hope at a time when they feel hopeless.
