The new effort will choose ten people prone to pulling the trigger to be rewarded $300 each month to keep away from gun violence.
Participants will be matched with life coaches from the city's Street Violence Intervention Program
The new effort is being funded by the Dream Keeper Initiative and part of San Francisco’s decision to “redirect funding from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) to the African American community.”
This will cost $6 million annually to intake needs of the community and focus on closing unemployment and gaps in “income and wealth,” the website says.
Those participants can also receive an extra $200 per month by attending school or helping to be change agents.
