WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is preparing to offer $85 million in federal grants meant to improve job opportunities for youth in communities affected by gun violence and crime.
It's part of an administration effort to address not just the immediate needs of communities following acts of violence, but also to promote longer-term recovery and resilience.
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, was expected to speak about the grants on Wednesday.
