Community Violence Intervention Leadership (CVIL)

The CVIL initiative sought to bring structure, accountability, and operational readiness to grassroots organizations addressing community violence. Choice Habit LLC was engaged to help formalize processes and build compliance infrastructure that could withstand federal, city, and philanthropic scrutiny.

Our work began with a comprehensive assessment of CVIL’s existing workflows, identifying gaps in procurement, vendor management, and documentation. From there, we developed a suite of compliance-ready templates, including intake forms, subcontractor onboarding packets, and reporting dashboards aligned with public grant expectations.

We also led several targeted training sessions for CVIL leadership and program staff, covering topics such as grant eligibility, risk mitigation, ethical vendor selection, and OMB Uniform Guidance basics. Throughout the engagement, Choice Habit served as both a strategic advisor and an embedded coach, enabling the team to move from reactive fire-fighting to proactive planning.

This engagement resulted in stronger internal controls, streamlined grant reporting processes, and improved readiness to scale CVIL’s impact citywide. Our collaborative approach helped bridge the divide between mission-driven passion and professional-grade operational systems.

We have meeting rooms and event spaces available for rent. Our meeting rooms are equipped with high-speed internet, projectors, and screens to help you deliver impressive presentations. Our event spaces are perfect for hosting networking events, seminars, and workshops.
