About the SAP

The 2022 Community Needs Assessment showed that many of the needs and disparities that have affected the City’s young people age 0-24 and their families for years continue to persist.

As we enter the 24-29 funding cycle we recognize that we cannot do the same things and expect different results. Instead, we must operate differently, with both intention and collaboration.

Our 2023 SAP and 24-29 RFP will focus on 4 results that represent the conditions we seek for our City’s young people and families:

  1. All children and youth are supported by nurturing families and communities
  2. All children and youth are physically and emotionally healthy
  3. All children and youth are ready to learn and succeed in school
  4. All youth are ready for college, work, and productive adulthood

DCYF's result areas: all children and youth are supported by nurturing families and communities; all children and youth are physically and emotionally healthy; all children and youth are ready to learn and succeed in school; all youth are ready for college, work, and productive adulthood

The SAP includes:

  • Goals, priorities and approaches for the 24-29 funding cycle
  • Services, initiatives, partnerships and best practices that DCYF will support during the funding cycle
  • Funding allocations for services for young people and their families as well as Evaluation, Technical Assistance and Capacity Building, and Outreach and Promotion
