00221N0025-FY22 Harlem Mothers Stop Another Violent End Inc.

NYC Crisis Management System (CMS) service providers are community-based organizations familiar with the service area, who are able to hire and maintain a staff of credible messengers, have administrative capacity to manage all aspects of the program, and participate in required trainings, meetings and other obligations that may arise as contracted partners.

This is due to three factors: (a) the current health emergency and the extraordinary challenges of the pandemic that make it particularly difficult to identify new vendors; (b) the significant and drastic increase in gun violence across multiple neighborhoods in New York City that require an immediate response and intervention to interrupt the cycle of violence ahead of warmer months when such incidents often increase; and (c) the exceptionally limited timeframe to implement the mayoral strategy to expand anti-gun violence public safety services and the limited number of vendors available with the knowledge, expertise, and capacity to perform the required scope of services. MOCJ anticipates the resumption of the planned competitive process once these conditions ameliorate to create a sustainable and robust Crisis Management System structure in the coming fiscal years. MOCJ anticipates releasing a solicitation for these services for contracts to begin on 7/1/22.
