The Live in Peace Program is designed to help survivors move forward after the murder of a loved one by providing assistance with emergency and basic needs.

The purpose of this grant program is to provide culturally responsive services to crime victims and survivors from communities that have been historically underserved; marginalized; adversely affected by inequality; and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization. With this funding, LOUIS D BROWN PEACE INSTITUTE will serve as a center of healing, teaching, and learning for families and communities impacted by murder, trauma, grief, and loss in the neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan, where violence is most concentrated in the City of Boston, Massachusetts. The target population is persons of color most affected by violence and poverty, and services to be provided include food, clothing, housing, shelter, utilities, transportation, childcare, and vocational programs.
