April 25, 2025, NBC Boston

LOWELL — At least one other local organization was being affected. UTEC in Lowell announced it was losing critical Justice Department funding for gun violence prevention, according to a statement released by the organization Wednesday.

“Cutting off funding to programs like these, midway through grant cycles, with no warning, undermines trust, stability, and progress. We must continue to support the community-rooted solutions that have been proven effective,” UTEC CEO Gregg Croteau said in a statement.
