$100 million in new funding announced in Illinois for anti-violence efforts
(KFVS) – New funding might be devoted to stopping gun violence in communities throughout Illinois.
A brand new $100 million in funding might be added to $113 million in Might and $10 million in funding devoted to Chicago and different areas earlier than the summer season.
“This administration is delivering historic ranges of violence prevention funding to interrupt violence and maintain our communities protected,” Governor JB Pritzker mentioned . “I’m grateful for the considerate work of our Native Advisory Councils in recommending community-specific options that may get on the root-causes of firearm violence. This funding will help on-the-ground work from individuals with the neighborhood information and fervour essential to make substantive change.”
The Illinois Division of Well being and Senior Companies remains to be contemplating purposes for the funding that was made obtainable in Might.
