How do the programs funded by Measure NN work? How do they reduce violence?

The programs funded by this measure focus on preventing violence through targeted interventions and community support. By investing in dropout prevention, crisis intervention, and job training/placement programs, the initiative aims to address underlying factors that contribute to crime as well as provide immediate, appropriate response to people in crisis. Improved emergency response services further enhance safety and provide timely assistance, collectively working towards reducing gun violence, robberies, human trafficking and homicides while supporting at-risk youth and enhancing overall community well-being.
