The funding will be given with the intention for the creation and implementation of risk protection programs that would allow family members, schools, law enforcement and health care providers to petition a court to temporarily prevent a person from accessing firearms if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.
"These awards will support the kinds of crisis intervention programs that we know save lives and help protect children, families, and communities across the country from senseless acts of gun violence," Attorney General Merrick Garland said.
