Centers For Family Development Incorporated

BLACK FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, INC. PROJECT AWARE - BLACK FAMILY DEVELOPMENT INC. (BFDI) IS PROPOSING TO EXPAND DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMUNITY DISTRICT’S (DPSCD’S) WELL ESTABLISHED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT TO IMPROVE THE NETWORKS RESPONSE TO RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SUICIDE TO INCLUDE ADDRESSING SOCIAL DETERMINATES OF HEALTH, REDUCING PUBLIC STIGMA RELATED TO RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND ENHANCING PROTECTIVE FACTORS TO MITIGATE THE RISK OF SUICIDE INCLUDING THE IMPACTS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES THROUGH DETROIT AWARE. ON AVERAGE, 10,000 STUDENTS IN 27 SCHOOLS WITHIN DPSCD WILL HAVE ACCESS TO DETROIT AWARE EACH FUNDED YEAR. TWO (2) OF THE HIGHEST RACIAL/ETHNIC STUDENT POPULATIONS WITHIN DPSCD ARE BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN (82%) AND HISPANIC/LATINX (13.6%). SEVENTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE AND/OR REDUCED LUNCH WHEREIN THE CITY OF DETROIT HAS A 33.2% POVERTY RATE. FROM A RECENT SURVEY OF STUDENTS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT APPROXIMATELY 18% OF THE STUDENT BODY IDENTIFIES AS LGBTQIA. IN A RECENT SURVEY, 14% OF DPSCD STUDENTS RESPONDED AS HAVING EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND 24% OF STUDENTS DO NOT FEEL SAFE TRAVELING TO SCHOOL. IN ADDITION, PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH DIFFICULTIES AND HAVE A HEIGHTENED RISK OF SUICIDE. BFDI’S MISSION IS TO STRENGTHEN AND ENHANCE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS THAT SUPPORT SAFE, NURTURING, VIBRANT HOMES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES. ALIGNING WITH BFDI’S MISSION, THE FOLLOWING GOALS OF DETROIT AWARE WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH DPSCD, MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES: GOAL 1: INCREASE AWARENESS OF SUICIDE PREVENTION AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONCERNS AMONGST SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH TO REDUCE STIGMA AND NORMALIZE SEEKING OUT SUPPORT. GOAL 2: DECREASE SUICIDAL IDEATIONS AND SELF-HARMFUL BEHAVIORS AMONGST SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH WITH STRENGTH-BASED PREVENTION AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TREATMENT SERVICE SUPPORTS. GOAL 3: INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH LITERACY WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO INTERACT WITH SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH. GOAL 4: INCREASE CULTURALLY RELEVANT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT THAT ARE PROVIDED TO SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH AND FAMILIES THROUGH DIVERSE PARTNERSHIPS THAT FOSTER WELLNESS. BASED UPON EACH SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH’S INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, BFDI USES THE STRENGTHS AND DIFFICULTIES QUESTIONNAIRE (SDQ) AND PATIENT HEALTH QUESTION (PHQ-9) TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT PATHWAY/LEVEL OF CARE FOR SCHOOL-AGED YOUTH. THE THREE-TIERED PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL FOR DETROIT AWARE WILL BE EXECUTED USING EIGHT (8) DISTINCT INTERVENTIONS TO INCLUDE SCREENING, PREVENTION (INCLUDING COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION FOR TRAUMA IN SCHOOLS), TREATMENT, PARENT WORKSHOP, CRISIS INTERVENTION, REFERRALS, COORDINATION OF CARE AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING PROVIDING EDUCATORS WITH QUESTION, PERSUADE REFER (QPR EVIDENCE-BASED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING). BFDI’S MISSION EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIPS TO ELEVATE FAMILIES TO ACHIEVE STRONG OUTCOMES. THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE TO INCLUDE COMMUNITY GROUPS, PEER SUPPORT SERVICES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND LOCAL BUSINESSES.

PROJECT LAUNCH - DETROIT IS A CITY OF RESILIENCE, AN URBAN CENTER WITH A MAJORITY POPULATION OF BLACK PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED AND HAS A HIGHER-THAN-AVERAGE RATE OF POVERTY THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. GAPS EXIST RELATIVE TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT GROWTH OF CHILDREN AGES 0-8. FURTHERMORE, ALMOST 10% OF THE CITY’S POPULATION ARE STILL WITHOUT MEDICAL INSURANCE. PER THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS, HALF OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS EXPERIENCE ONSET BY THE AGE OF 14. THIS PROJECT PROVIDES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH IN TARGETED COMMUNITIES THAT EMPOWERS PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND CHILDCARE PROVIDERS IN COMMUNITIES WITH CONCENTRATED POVERTY AND LIMITED ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND HEALTH RESOURCES. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND AWARENESS OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF CHILDREN, AND TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE EARLY ASSESSMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE NECESSARY SERVICES TO PUT THEM ON A PATH OF WELL-BEING. THIS MODEL INCORPORATES A HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT INCLUDES CASE MANAGEMENT, WRAPAROUND SERVICES, EARLY INTERVENTION AND COMMITTED PARTNERS. IN THE FOUR CATCHMENT AREAS IDENTIFIED IN THIS PROJECT, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 YEARS OLD (APPROXIMATELY 46.4%) WHO NEED TO BE SERVED THAT EXCEED THE NUMBER OF LICENSED DAY CARE PROVIDERS IN THE RESPECTIVE AREAS. THIS MEANS THAT THE WORK OF BFDI’S PROJECT LAUNCH PROGRAM WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN TO BE ASSESSED AND CHILD CARE PROVIDERS TRAINED TO CHANGE THE DEVELOPMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH TRAJECTORY OF CHILDREN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CURRENT STATISTICS SHOW THAT BEYOND THE AGE OF 5, SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ARE NOT MEETING THE THIRD GRADE ELA STANDARDS, WHICH FURTHER SUPPORTS THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROJECT. THE PROJECT WILL EMPOWER PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND CHILD CARE THROUGH TRAININGS USING EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS SUCH AS PARENTS AS TEACHERS, AGES & STAGES AND MORE.

BLACK FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, INC.S SECOND CHANCE REENTRY PROGRAM, FOR YOUTH IN NINE WAYNE COUNTY (MICHIGAN) ZIP CODES, WILL PROVIDE INTENSIVE, TEAM-BASED SUPPORT AROUND SIX REENTRY TRACKS: ACADEMICS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, RESTORATIVE PRACTICES SKILL DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION, FAMILY REUNIFICATION, AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES TO MEET BASIC NEEDS. REENTRY COACHES WILL ASSIST THE YOUTH AND FAMILY WITH ASSEMBLING A REENTRY TEAM CONSISTING OF FORMAL, INFORMAL, AND NATURAL SUPPORTS. PARTICIPANTS WILL COMPLETE FOUR PHASES OF INTERVENTIONS ACROSS SIX MONTHS, INCLUDING 90 DAYSOF PRE-RELEASE SERVICES AND AN ADDITIONAL 90 DAYS OF POST-RELEASE SERVICES THAT FOCUS ON TEAM-SUPPORTED ACTIVITIES TO EXPLORE COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES, COORDINATED CARE ACROSS DOMAINS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEER SUPPORT THROUGH REENTRY GROUP SESSIONS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS RESTORATIVE PRACTICES, SKILLS TO MANAGE CONFLICT AND SUSTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, PARTICIPATING IN MEANINGFUL POSITIVE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, AND FAMILY REUNIFICATION AND COHESIVENESS.

2018 METRO DETROIT - PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS

PROMISE NEIGHBORHOODS

PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) - EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN

CONSISTENT WITH NATIONAL TRENDS, GUN VIOLENCE IN THE CITY OF DETROIT INCREASED PRECIPITOUSLY IN 2020, AS THE COUNTRY WAS FACED WITH COVID-19 PANDEMIC SHUTDOWNS AND NATIONWIDE PROTESTS OVER THE POLICE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN. WHILE THE NUMBER OF FATAL AND NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS IN THE CITY OF DETROIT IN 2022 (N = 1,230) IS BELOW ITS RECENT PEAK IN 2020 (N = 1,479), GUN VIOLENCE REMAINS AT LEVELS THAT SUBSTANTIALLY OUTPACE PRE-COVID-19 FIGURES (2019 FATAL AND NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS = 997). THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON THE 12 SQUARE MILES IN DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENTS 9TH PRECINCT, WHERE GUN VIOLENCE HAS INCREASED BY 41% SINCE 2019. THIS REPRESENTS A DOUBLING OF SCOPE VERSUS PRIOR PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD (PSN) PROJECTS. MULTIPLE FACTORS INFLUENCE THE PERSISTENCE OF GUN VIOLENCE IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HIGH-PROFILE GANG ACTIVITY. PSN TASK FORCE PARTNERS WILL INCLUDE THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT (DPD), THE WAYNE COUNTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS OFFICE (WCPO), THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (MDOC) AND MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY (MSU). THE FUNDS FROM THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL PRIMARILY BE USED TO FUND DATA-DRIVEN, TARGETED ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS ON KNOWN INDIVIDUALS AND LOCATIONS WITHIN THE TARGET AREA, FOLLOWING ENFORCEMENT THAT INVOLVES AT-RISK YOUTH, THE 9TH PRECINCT NON-FATAL SHOOTING TEAM WILL CONNECT THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH A DEDICATED YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH PRACTITIONER WHO WILL PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE HIGH-RISK YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES. DETROIT HAS MADE CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS IN PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING VIOLENT CRIME OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGIES. PRE-PANDEMIC, SIMILAR ACTIONS IN THE 8TH PRECINCT RESULTED IN A 30% DECLINE IN FATAL AND NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS.

DETROIT HAS MADE CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS IN PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING VIOLENT CRIME OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THROUGH HIGHLY FOCUSED ENFORCEMENT AND PREVENTION BUILT UPON A COLLABORATIVE WORKING GROUP OF STRONG LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVING THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE WAYNE COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE, THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE-EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN AND RESEARCH PARTNER MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. HOWEVER, THE QUICK ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN 2020 RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLY DECREASED OPERATIONAL CAPACITY FOR THE MULTIPLE TARGETED ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON DETROIT’S GUN VIOLENCE HOTSPOTS, NOT ONLY SUSTAINING BUT INCREASING THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND INTERVENTION. THIS PROJECT WILL LEVERAGE THESE PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS THE PERSISTENTLY INCREASING GUN VIOLENCE IN A SELECT AREA OF DETROIT’S 9TH PRECINCT WITH THE OVERALL GOAL OF REVERSING THIS TREND. THROUGH AN EVIDENCE-BASED AND DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH, THE PSN TASK FORCE WILL CONDUCT UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, WORKING COLLABORATIVELY ACROSS ALL COMPONENTS OF STREET ENFORCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND SUPERVISION. FOLLOWING PSN ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS, THE CEASEFIRE DETROIT OUTREACH TEAM AND ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS WILL CONDUCT TARGETED OUTREACH IN THE AREA TO “FILL THE GAP” IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEFT BY THE REMOVAL OF PREVIOUSLY PROMINENT DRIVERS OF VIOLENCE. THIS OUTREACH EFFORT AND PROVISION OF “WRAP-AROUND SERVICES” TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE ADDS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO DETROIT’S PSN APPROACH. THESE STREET OUTREACH EFFORTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN UTILIZED THROUGHOUT DETROIT TO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY IN MEANINGFUL WAYS AND HELP END THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN THE AREA. BY FOCUSING ON DETROIT’S MOST PROMINENT HOTSPOT FOR GUN VIOLENCE, DETROIT PSN HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GREATLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF DETROIT’S NEIGHBORHOOD MOST INTENSELY AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE.
