About the Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Grant
Directed by Toronto City Council on December 17, 2024 (CC24.2), the Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Grant is one of the initiatives being implemented as part of the Keeping Toronto Safe from Hate Action Plan.
The grant provides up to $100,000 per application for eligible non-profit or charitable organizations serving communities at risk of hate-motivated incidents or crimes. Funding may be used to assess, design, and install hostile vehicle mitigation measures. These measures must be deemed necessary based on a Threat, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment (TVRA) conducted by a Qualified Security Consultant.
Please note that this grant is specifically limited to hostile vehicle mitigation and cannot support security measures that do not protect against vehicle attacks (e.g., security personnel, cybersecurity measures, intrusion detection systems, etc.).
