One Lexington was formed in 2017 to coordinate city activities addressing violent crime, especially among young adults. Tuesday, Mayor Linda Gorton announced the winners of its inaugural round of grants. One Lexington Director Devine Carama said the $100,000 awarded will benefit 15 groups and agencies – and the people they serve.
“We have reentry programs that will be serving individuals coming home from incarceration. We have mentoring programs that work with youth directly impacted by gun violence and we have victim service organizations who support those lost to gun violence.”
