Bipartisan Solution to Cyclical Violence Act of 2023
S 1447 establishes a federal grant program to fund violence intervention and prevention programs at trauma centers and partnering nonprofits. It provides $250,000-$500,000 per 3-year grant to eligible entities serving communities with at least 100 annual intentional violent trauma incidents (excluding intimate partner violence). Grantees must report on program outcomes, with the Secretary developing public best practices by 2029 based on these reports. The program, funded at $10 million over four years, prioritizes geographic diversity and high-violence communities.
