Gun violence continues to be a significant public health issue in the United States, impacting communities across socioeconomic, racial, and geographic lines. The bill is designed to address the lack of centralized support systems for victims and survivors, who often face long-term psychological, physical, and financial burdens. The population affected includes individuals directly harmed by firearms, families of deceased victims, and communities experiencing collective trauma. These populations often reside in urban areas with high rates of poverty, limited access to mental health services, and a historical pattern of systemic marginalization. The bill aims to close service gaps and provide a standardized national approach to victim support. By surveying needs and disseminating information on best practices, S. 556 has the potential to significantly aid both service providers and affected populations in accessing coordinated and effective care.
