HR 8780 United States House · 118th Congress

Prioritizing Resources for Outreach, Safety, Violence Prevention, Youth Empowerment and Resilience Act of 2024

The PROSPER Act of 2024 authorizes the Attorney General to establish a youth gun violence prevention program, allocating $25 million annually from 2025 through 2030 for grants under existing juvenile justice programs. This funding directly supports community-based initiatives focused on preventing gun violence among young people, particularly in high-risk areas. The bill specifies that $100 million total will be available each year for juvenile justice grants, with $25 million dedicated specifically to this youth-focused violence prevention effort. It does not create new federal agencies or mandate state actions, instead directing existing federal resources toward targeted prevention programs.
