安全和成功的青年倡议

The Safe and Successful Youth Initiative (SSYI) is a youth violence intervention initiative that operates in 14 Commonwealth of Massachusetts cities with the highest young adult crime rates. SSYI targets a small number of individuals, ages 17-24, that have been identified as “proven risk” or “impact players.” These individuals are determined by local law enforcement to be substantially gang-involved, most likely to be a victim or perpetrator of a violent weapons offense, or engaged in high-volume illegal activity. SSYI outreach workers reach out and develop a relationship with these individuals and then offer them a chance to redirect their lives through educational, employment, and behavioral health services. SSYI combines public health and public safety approaches for eliminating youth violence.

14个SSYI计划由卫生与公众服务部执行办公室（Executive Office of Health and Human Services，EOHHS）监督。Commonwealth Corporation为EOHHS提供项目、财政和行政管理协助，并为14个受资助地点提供技术援助。

此外，在2020年春季，EOHHS启动了SSYI人口贩运(HT)补助金计划。通过该计划，三个非营利组织为幸存者提供指导——为10至24岁的人口贩运幸存者提供服务，员工导师同样也是人口贩运幸存者。学员在行为健康、健康、教育、住房、理财知识、就业、交通和其他领域获得支持。非营利性受助者还提供有关人口贩运的培训。Commonwealth Corporation针对这一倡议向EOHHS提供行政协助，包括财政管理协助。
