D.A. Bragg Announces Increased Funding Opportunity For Summer Youth Gun Violence Prevention
“As someone who grew up in Harlem myself, I know firsthand the importance of keeping young people engaged and busy during the summer months. I am thrilled to announce up to $300,000 in funding for summer youth gun violence prevention, building on the success of the past three years of this initiative,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Driving down gun violence is my top priority, and with shootings down 48 percent since I took office, we are building on that progress. Prevention initiatives are one key way we’re doing that, alongside focused prosecutions in areas of concentrated violence and traditional law enforcement methods. I urge organizations big and small to team up and apply for this funding.”
