PROSPER Act of 2025
The PROSPER Act of 2025 authorizes $25 million annually (2026-2030) from juvenile justice funds to award grants for youth gun violence prevention programs. It directly affects at-risk youth by requiring grantees to implement evidence-based strategies focused on trauma healing, youth empowerment, mental health connections, community engagement, and gun safety education. Key provisions mandate that programs must be culturally competent, trauma-informed, and inclusive of youth with past exposure to violence or the justice system. Eligible recipients include community organizations, tribes, colleges, and nonprofits - not law enforcement agencies.
