Request for Qualifications

The Metropolitan Peace Initiatives (MPI) Division of Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) is pleased to issue a Request for Qualification (RFQ) for Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P) Violence Prevention Services. The purpose of this RFQ is to establish a roster of community-based organizations qualified to provide violence prevention services for high-risk adults in the City of Chicago’s twenty-six (26) most gun violent communities and requalify existing partners in current communities.

MPI seeks grant funds from public sources (Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority [ICJIA], Cook County Justice Advisory Council [JAC], City of Chicago Department of Public Health [CDPH]) to provide sub-awards to agencies for outreach services to mediate and intervene with community firearm violent conflicts, and to provide case management and victim services to reduce shooting and homicide incidents in the City of Chicago’s twenty-six most gun-violent communities.

Application packets are to be submitted electronically to Kanu Iheukumere, Director of MPI Program Operations, at iheukumerek@metrofamily.org.

If you have any questions about the RFQ, please contact Kanu Iheukumere via e-mail at iheukumerek@metrofamily.org.
