This legislation, known as the PROSPER Act of 2025, authorizes the Attorney General to award grants for a youth gun violence prevention program . These grants will support programs that utilize strategies which are evidence-informed, culturally competent, trauma-informed, and linguistically and developmentally inclusive. The primary goal is to engage young people at the highest risk for involvement in gun violence and reduce their risk of both violent victimization and perpetration. Grant funds are intended for activities such as prioritizing healing from past trauma, promoting youth empowerment through skill development, and connecting young people to mental health professionals, mentors, and crisis intervention specialists. Programs will also foster community engagement, provide gun violence prevention resources like firearm safety education, and support the reintegration of youth with past exposure to violence or the juvenile justice system. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $25,000,000 annually from fiscal year 2026 through 2030 for this program, drawn from a larger allocation for juvenile justice programs, and defines eligible entities to include institutions of higher education, Indian Tribe agencies, community-based organizations, and local government agencies (excluding law enforcement).
