Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to build safer, thriving communities, and save lives, by investing in effective community-based violence reduction initiatives, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to address community violence through a comprehensive approach involving the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor. The legislation establishes a framework for reducing violence in high-risk communities by providing grants to support community-based intervention programs, creating a National Community Violence Response Center, and offering workforce development opportunities for "opportunity youth" (individuals aged 16-24 who are not in school or employed). The bill recognizes the disproportionate impact of violence on communities of color, particularly young Black and Brown men, and aims to break cycles of violence through evidence-informed strategies like community outreach, hospital-based intervention programs, conflict mediation, and job training. Key provisions include establishing an Office of Community Violence Intervention, forming an advisory committee, and authorizing substantial funding ($300 million to $700 million annually) to support these initiatives. The bill emphasizes a holistic approach that focuses on prevention, trauma-responsive care, and economic opportunity, with the goal of reducing violence without relying on mass incarceration. The legislation also mandates data collection, research coordination, and regular reporting to Congress to track progress and identify effective strategies for community violence reduction.
