Detroit's ShotStoppers program, funded by federal dollars, has significantly reduced homicides and shootings in high-crime areas, with reductions of up to 83%. The program supports local groups and has received $10 million from the American Rescue Plan Act. Mayor Mike Duggan attributes the success to community engagement and collaboration with the police. However, the funding is set to expire in April, and Michigan lawmakers are considering a $100 million statewide fund to sustain the initiative.
