NEW YORK (PIX11) – Looking for a job in New York City?

There will soon be a new workforce program for people ages 18-40 involved in the criminal justice system who are at risk of involvement in community violence or residing in communities with the highest rates of gun violence.

Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that $15 million would be allocated to the Community Resources for Employment and Development Initiative or CRED.

The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) and its network of providers, including Common Point Queens, will oversee it.

Commonpoint Queens currently offers job training programs to youths and teens who are residents of New York City.

"To be able to provide meaningful, impactful services for community members, especially when you're down on your luck or made a mistake, they're life-changing," said Danielle Ellman, the President and CEO of Common Point.
