Lexington city council members are being asked to approve the distribution of $50,000 in gun violence prevention grants. One Lexington aims to reduce youth violence by working with community partners. One Lexington Director Devine Carama said separate funding to support victim services can sometimes help to stop a cycle of violence.
“Even when you think of retaliatory violence, sometimes supporting survivors of gun violence can have an impact on whether that family wants to retaliate or not,” said Carama.
