SNUG Street Outreach and SNUG Social Work Program
Description:

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) seeks applications to fund a SNUG Street Outreach, and SNUG Social Work, program in the city of Syracuse. The SNUG Street Outreach program is an evidence-based, violence reduction initiative that treats gun violence as a disease by identifying its causes and interrupting its transmission. The SNUG Social Work program provides funding to support social workers, and allows the DCJS SNUG programs to address trauma experienced by program participants and staff, and to improve access to services for survivors and victims of crime for participants and their families. Approximately one million eight hundred twenty thousand one eighty nine dollars ($1,820,189) is expected to be made available to fund the programs. The Street Outreach and Social Work programs shall be co-located in Syracuse, and applicants should submit one application describing how they will administer both programs.

The SNUG Street Outreach program is an evidence-based, violence reduction initiative that treats gun violence as a disease by identifying its causes and interrupting its transmission. There are currently fourteen DCJS SNUG Programs across New York State. At each SNUG site, outreach teams of credible messengers, individuals who are hired from communities in which they work and have backgrounds similar to those with whom they aim to connect, mentor the highest risk youth with an emphasis on conflict mediation and violence prevention.

The SNUG Social Work program provides social workers to the DCJS SNUG programs, allowing them to address trauma experienced by program participants and staff and improve access to services for survivors and victims of crime for participants and their families. SNUG Street Outreach sites utilize grant funding to hire social workers trained to best address the ways in which prolonged exposure to violence affects youth served by the program, their communities, and SNUG staff.
