Community Services Block Grant Support Services for Healthy Families Program

As the City’s Community Action Agency, DYCD is the recipient of federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds through the State of New York and is responsible for distributing funding for programs on a local level in accordance with the goals of the CSBG statute.

In order to maximize the impact of CSBG funding, DYCD targets programs to low income communities, which it designates as Neighborhood Development Areas (NDA). Each NDA is represented by a Neighborhood Advisory Board (NAB) which conducts needs assessments for social services in their NDAs.

According to the priorities identified by the NABs, this RFP will seek qualified organizations to provide Support Services for Healthy Families. Programs would assist families in accessing resources to address identified needs, including child care, elder care, child support, parenting, employment, education, housing, legal assistance, health, nutrition, and addressing violence, domestic violence and risky behaviors.

Only nonprofit organizations will be eligible to apply. Agency: Department of Youth and Community Development Status: closed
