Description
The Bronx District Attorney’s Office (BXDA) is seeking proposals from qualified service providers to develop and implement a program for teens and young adults identified as being at high risk of engaging in serious violent crime. The program, called Bronx Restore, aims to provide intensive support and investment for participants, addressing root causes of violence such as trauma and poverty-induced barriers to stable employment, education, housing, and community engagement. The program will take place in the 40th precinct, near St. Mary’s Park, and will serve approximately 15 participants at any given time, with programming of up to 20 hours per week for a maximum of one year. Participants will receive a stipend of $25 per hour for each hour of participation.
• The program should include components such as case management, credible mentorship, life skills training, behavioral interventions, education and internship opportunities, and any other components deemed necessary.
• The proposal should specify the ages to be served, ideal number of programming hours per week, and program length.
• The proposal should identify community partners and a location or proposed location for the program.
• The proposal should include an itemized budget and a budget narrative explaining each line item and justifying anticipated costs.
