Peace for DC/Heal DC
Peace for DC’s Heal DC initiative works to reduce gun violence in Washington, DC, through violence interruption, trauma-informed case management, and workforce development for high-risk young adults. Amid funding cuts that threaten vital services, the program is mobilizing trained staff, strengthening partnerships, and advocating for renewed investment in community violence intervention. By restoring these supports, Heal DC aims to enhance safety, expand opportunities, and promote long-term healing in affected neighborhoods.
