Request for Proposals: Youth Safety and Belonging Initiative
Posted
02/19/2026
Description
KCHA is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations to deliver intervention-focused programming for high school-aged youth (ages 14–19) living in designated KCHA communities who are at heightened risk of, or have been impacted by, community violence. This investment is intended to support evidence-informed, trauma-informed services that strengthen safety, stability, and positive youth development. Funded programs should center direct intervention services, complemented by intentional outreach to disengaged youth, coordination with onsite providers and community partners, and the ability to provide restorative support as needs arise. Through this procurement, KCHA aims to reduce youth-involved conflicts while strengthening social-emotional skills, connections to caring adults, and overall perceptions of safety within KCHA communities.
