Houston CVE deliverables (Mayor's Office)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All grant reporting documents submitted to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) between January 2017 and July 2019 about the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) grant program.

Your organization was listed as by the DHS as a CVE grant recipient here:
https://www.dhs.gov/cvegrants

On the DHS web page listed above, there are quarterly summary updates on your organization’s progress towards your listed goal of working “with the Houston Regional CVE Steering Committee to host scenario-based workshops for parents and youth, interfaith engagements, as well as a train-thetrainer program to ensure sustainability of the program.”

I would like all qualitative and quantitative reporting that you have sent to the DHS to update them on your progress to this goal, including any financial statements that explain how your $500,000 grant from the DHS (in 2017) has been spent. This should include at least one report for each quarter since 2017.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ava Sasani
