Contra Costa County is declaring gun violence a public health issue and is launching a coalition to involve residents in the effort to curb the violence.
The new organization will target young people in the West Contra Costa County areas such as Richmond and eastern parts of the county such as Antioch.
The coalition also will target young adults ages 18 to 24 who are out of school but with little to no direction in life and will help those individuals develop skills to get jobs in the trades or other professions.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
