Creates new school programs to help youth at high risk of gun violence.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to fund school-based violence prevention programs. These programs would help students in communities with high rates of violence, focusing on youth at the highest risk for gun violence. It would also provide support for teachers and school staff.
Today, federal law addresses children and violence generally, but there isn't a specific federal grant program to fund comprehensive school-based violence prevention for youth at high risk of gun violence. This bill would replace the current rules with a new provision, authorizing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible partnerships to establish or expand these programs, with $25 million authorized annually from 2025 to 2031.
