Supporting Youth at High Risk of Gun Violence Initiative (SYI) Grant Program - HRiA Application Materials RFP Guidelines This page will be updated with new resources, recordings of webinars, and FAQs throughout the RFP process (last updated 8/15/24 with the link to the information session recording) The SYI grants program has one primary goal: Atlanta neighborhoods deeply impacted by gun violence were also areas disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
Community trauma is compounded in many of these neighborhoods, which have long been subjected to interpersonal violence, systemic or institutional neglect, and lack of economic and educational resources. Disinvestment of neighborhoods combined with distrust of city agencies have contributed to poor quality public spaces and an erosion of pride of place for residents.
Reclaiming community empowerment to address local safety concerns, rebuild trust, address community trauma, and promote wellness, would help create a vibrant public realm centered in healing and resistance.
By implementing the proposed violence reduction and prevention program (Youth Outreach and Life Coaching) focused on individual youth at greatest risk it is anticipated that local safety concerns, community trauma, and community wellness, will be positively addressed. Specifically, this grant will support Youth Outreach and Life Coaching for eligible youth who are at high risk for gun violence, injury, and death.
It is important that proposers understand that this is a violence intervention effort, solely prevention efforts will not be funded. To this end, eligible youth are specifically defined, geography is important and must be specifically defined, and organizations should have a track record of providing outreach or life coaching to these specifically defined priority populations.
