About StreetSafe Boston
A Boston Foundation initiative, StreetSafe Boston is a multi-year youth development and safety initiative designed to dramatically reduce youth violence in a subset of Boston neighborhoods disproportionately and persistently affected by high rates of violent crime. Experts at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government estimate that 1% of the City’s youth population aged 16 – 24 (about 1,400 young people) drive over 50% of gun violence citywide. Harvard research suggests that more than 70% of shootings are concentrated in only 5% of the city’s street corners and blocks. StreetSafe Boston is focused on five neighborhoods along Blue Hill Avenue where a majority of these proven-risk youth (proven-risk youth are youth and young adults who are involved in gangs or criminally active groups engaged in violent behavior) live and a bulk of Boston’s gun violence occurs.
