REPORT - RESOLUTION TO APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NEW HOPE FOR YOUTH FOR STREET OUTREACH AND CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES
BACKGROUND: The Violence Prevention Partnership (The Partnership) released a Request for Proposals on August 26, 2024, seeking a qualified organization to implement a street outreach and crisis response team focused on at-risk, high-risk, gang-impacted and gang-intentional youth and young adults and their families. On September 23, 2024, The Partnership received three qualified applications, and formed a review board which unanimously selected New Hope for Youth (NHFY) of San Jose, California. NHFY will implement the street outreach and crisis response team using the Credible Messenger Model and a trauma-informed care approach focusing on the following: cold street outreach, neighborhood climate checks, crisis response, victim support services, re-entry and diversion services, case management, whole family support, and pro-social activities.
