Long Beach, CA ~ The City of Long Beach is looking to partner with three qualified organizations to expand its existing Safe Passage Program and increase the safety of youth walking to and from school in North, West and Central Long Beach.
The Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department) has conducted research on the potential for Safe Passage programming at local area school sites as part of its violence prevention initiative, Long Beach Advancing Peace, and has determined that schools located in North, West and Central Long Beach would benefit most from this additional safety resource. The selected partners will enable the expansion of the Safe Passage Program, currently operating at Washington Middle School in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, to promote safety, increase community social connectedness and encourage student attendance.
The Long Beach Safe Passage Public Health Model has four key components: securing community partners to coordinate program site partnership; identifying, training and recognizing program volunteers and community interventionists (peacekeepers); linking students with after-school activities to ensure their well-being; and identifying, collecting and analyzing program data to determine program effectiveness. The model's outcomes are to increase safe passage to and from school for students; reduce the involvement of at-risk youth in gangs; increase perceptions of safety for youth and community members; and develop a violence and pedestrian injury prevention model through an intradepartmental City and community collaboration.

Eligible organizations need to be a non-governmental organization or certified non-profit organization in business for a minimum of three years. The organization must have at least three years of experience within the last 10 years implementing street outreach and safe passage programs in the selected communities and parks as stated in the RFP. Organizations can submit proposals through the City's vendor portal, Long Beach Buys, by 11 a.m. on June 21st 2023. An instructional video about the registration process is also available on the Long Beach Buys website.
