(c)for summer or year-round programs authorized under section 130 for opportunity youth in communities disproportionately affected by gun violence for the purposes of connecting opportunity youth to in-demand industry sectors or occupations. The Secretary shall award grants under this section for an initial period of not more than 4 years, and may renew such awards for additional 4-year periods. In awarding funds under this section, the Secretary shall award grants to local boards serving local areas that— for not less than 2 out of the 3 calendar years preceding the date on which an application for a grant under this section is submitted— have experienced 35 or more homicides per year; or have experienced 20 or more homicides per year and had a homicide rate that was not less than double the national average; or have a compelling need to address community violence, as determined by the Secretary, based on high levels of homicide relative to other local areas within the same State. In carrying out the activities funded under a grant under this section, a local board may partner with— a community-based, nonprofit organization that— serves the residents served by a unit of general local government; has a track record of providing workforce development activities for individuals with barriers to employment; focuses on training competencies and skills to prepare opportunity youth for in-demand sectors and occupations; and provides— training for opportunity youth with foundational skill needs; and soft skills training that enables opportunity youth to engage successfully in work culture; an Indian Tribe or an agency primarily serving Native Americans; an entity that carries out activities authorized in this Act that has a focus on opportunity youth; an apprenticeship program; a community college (as defined in section 172(i)(1)); or a unit of general local government. Each local board receiving a grant under this section shall submit a performance report to the Secretary that, with respect to the program funded by such grant, identifies the levels of performance achieved on the performance metrics listed in section 130(d). To carry out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each fiscal years 2023 through 2028. .
