Community Outreach Advocates working to curb violence in our communities

It was a violent weekend in Cincinnati. Members of the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission Community Outreach Advocates were in Millvale over the weekend, talking with residents and passing out flyers with resources for finding jobs, counseling and support.

So far for 2016, there have been 240 shootings in Cincinnati, which is down from 260 at the same time in 2015. There have also been 39 homicides, which is also down from 45 in the area at the same time the previous year.
