Nashville Mayor John Cooper’s office is now accepting applications for a $1.5 million grant to prevent violence in North Nashville, WPLN reports. The program builds on the first round of $5,000 grants given out last year to curb shootings. The new initiative, labeled “Cure Violence,” is part of the city’s gradual shift toward more community-based solutions to public safety, at a time when violent crime has been rising. Nonprofit groups have until April 22 to apply.
