(KMIZ)The Neighborhood Opportunity and Community Accountability Proconsul will discuss bringing a community center to east Columbia at its monthly meeting Tuesday night, according to Office of Violence Prevention Administrator D'Markus Thomas-Brown. The hope is that the resources and new opportunities in the community will help address the root causes of, and ultimately minimize, violence. After tracking 911 call patterns and using an overlay with stressor mapping to look at factors like income and access to fresh fruits and vegetables, east Columbia was identified as a NOCAP area. To help those in the community heal from past violence and break from cycles of violence, Thomas-Brown said it's important that people who actually live in the community are a part of NOCAP's conversations. “We have moms who have kids who have lost kids to cycles of violence," Thomas-Brown said.
