The city of Lexington is accepting applications for government funds to help reduce gun violence among area youth. The Gun Violence Prevention Grant program is supported with $50,000 from the city. One Lexington Director Devine Carama said the effort is not focused on duplication, but on expansion when it comes to existing organizations.
“What we want to do as government is not reinvent what they’re doing, but we want to build the capacity of what they are doing. And part of that definitely is financial resources,” said Carama.
