Project Description

Public Notice: CVIPI RESTORE Microgrant Procurement

The City of Birmingham Mayor’s Office of Community Safety Initiatives announces an upcoming procurement opportunity funded through the U.S. Department of Justice Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI).

This procurement will support the expansion of the RESTORE program, a DOJ-funded, trauma-informed initiative implemented in partnership with the Jefferson County Family Resource Center. RESTORE serves court-involved and high-risk and at-risk youth and their families in Birmingham through coordinated, community-based interventions.

Purpose of the Microgrants

CVIPI RESTORE microgrants are intended to strengthen and expand existing community-based services that directly support RESTORE participants. Funded services must align with the DOJ-approved scope of work and support outcomes related to wraparound care, reentry support, family stabilization, and violence prevention.

Supported services may include, but are not limited to:

• Intensive wraparound and case-adjacent supports for justice-involved and high-risk youth ages 11?19, including education reengagement, GED attainment, workforce readiness, industry-recognized certifications, life skills development, transportation assistance, and employment stabilization.
• Trauma-informed programming for youth and families impacted by community violence, including grief support, healing circles, culturally competent workshops, restorative justice-informed life skills curricula, and social-emotional learning supports.
• Family stabilization services addressing food insecurity, hygiene and basic needs distribution, housing instability, homelessness prevention, emergency assistance, mentoring, and support for teen parents and young families.
• Transitional and emergency housing support for youth and young adults at risk of homelessness or reentry-related housing disruption, including short-term housing assistance, case management, and stabilization planning.
• Community-based violence prevention and outreach initiatives in priority zip codes (35206, 35211, and 35212), including mobile resource distribution, neighborhood-based engagement events, school-based mentoring, and safe-space programming.
• Safe and secure facilities capable of hosting RESTORE workshops, focus groups, workforce development programming, computer lab access, and structured pro-social activities designed to reduce reoffending and victimization risk.
• Direct support services for families impacted by gun violence, including memorial assistance, court accompaniment, counseling referrals, and victim advocacy coordination.
• Services that integrate with RESTORE case management, data collection, evaluation protocols, and DOJ CVIPI reporting requirements.

Eligibility and Required ExperienceThis is not a general funding opportunity. Eligible respondents must demonstrate:

• Documented experience delivering services aligned with the RESTORE program model
• Existing capacity to serve justice-involved or high-risk youth and their families
• Experience coordinating with courts, diversion programs, or reentry initiatives
• Ability to meet DOJ CVIPI data collection, reporting, and performance requirements
• Readiness to implement services immediately as part of the RESTORE expansion

Priority will be given to organizations whose current programming closely aligns with the RESTORE framework and addresses service gaps identified in the City’s DOJ CVIPI award.
