The bill appropriates a total of $4,000,000 from the general fund for the Minnesota SafeStreets program, with $2,000,000 allocated for fiscal year 2024 and another $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2025. Of this funding, $500,000 is designated for a grant to the YMCA of the North to develop and implement a program that aligns with the bill's objectives, while the remaining $1,500,000 will be distributed as grants by the Office of Justice Programs to eligible organizations that can demonstrate their capability to create and execute relevant programs.

The Minnesota SafeStreets program aims to foster community-based responses to violence through targeted interventions, de-escalation strategies, restorative justice alternatives for lower-level offenses, and the establishment of supportive relationships with community providers. The bill emphasizes the importance of utilizing best practices in critical incident response, including violence prevention and trauma mitigation, and mandates the development of a collective action plan that encompasses increased educational and workforce opportunities, leadership initiatives, expanded mental health services, and access to essential human and social services.
