Community-Based Gang Intervention Act

This bill creates a new grant program under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act to fund community-based nonprofit organizations that work directly with gang-involved youth and their families. It provides funding for specific services including street mediation to de-escalate violence, negotiating truces between rival gangs, 24/7 crisis intervention, mental health support, job training, and victim assistance. The program requires grantees to serve all communities without discrimination based on race, gender, or criminal history, and focuses on reducing gang-related violence through community engagement and rehabilitation. It directly affects gang-involved youth (under 18 or up to state juvenile justice age), their families, and neighborhoods experiencing gang violence.
