CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WOIO) - The Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded Cleveland Heights a $300,000 grant to combat youth violence, something it hopes to use to bring the Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance into the city. 'So I've been working since 2020, to get a contract with the Peacemakers Alliance,' said Cleveland Heights Mayor Kahlil Seren. 'That $300,000 will go a long way towards bringing that violence interruption into Cleveland Heights.' The Cleveland organization uses community engagement to try and get ahead of crime, disrupting disputes and encouraging outcomes that do not end in violence.
