New York shootings down 67%, Hochul puts $36M more into anti-gun-violence program
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced nearly $36 million in new funding for the GIVE anti-gun-violence initiative as shootings hit a two-decade low.
Why it matters
New York is reporting its lowest shooting levels in two decades, and Governor Kathy Hochul is doubling down: nearly $36 million in new state funding for the GIVE initiative, which targets gun violence in high-crime neighborhoods.
Full report
The announcement, published Oct. 1 on the governor's official site, says shootings are down 67 percent under Hochul's administration. The new funding expands the Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) initiative, which works with local police departments and community groups in the areas hardest hit by gun violence.
Hochul also announced $1.5 million for two Mohawk Valley community projects and a $10 million SUNY nursing simulation hub in the same release cycle.
