About this trial
The overall objective of this study is to implement and test a strengths-based, community-driven intervention to reduce gun violence by (1) improving housing stability through providing financial assistance coupled with comprehensive financial education for the re-entry population as well as their family members, and (2) fostering greater support for mental health by training a trusted network of community members in trauma-informed counseling.
