The Committee on Executive Administration and Labor, chaired by Anita Bonds, convened on June 23, 2025, to discuss critical issues affecting community safety and engagement in the District of Columbia. A significant focus of the meeting was the impact of ongoing initiatives by the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE), particularly the Pathway Grama program.

Committee members expressed strong support for the Pathway Grama program, highlighting its importance in addressing violence and enhancing community safety. The program has been a cornerstone of ONSE's efforts for nearly a decade, effectively reaching individuals at risk of engaging in or becoming victims of gun violence. The discussions underscored the program's success in fostering safer neighborhoods and reducing violent incidents.

In addition to the Pathway Grama program, the committee explored how new initiatives might influence the existing work of ONSE. Members sought insights on maintaining the effectiveness of current programs while integrating new strategies to further enhance community safety.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue supporting ONSE's initiatives and to monitor the impact of any new programs on existing efforts. The discussions reflect a broader commitment to addressing violence in the community and ensuring that effective programs like Pathway Grama remain a priority in the District's safety strategy.
