Eligibility Criteria
CSWI-C will focus on schools in fourteen Chicago zip codes whose residents have been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and whose populations are either majority Black or Latinx families, or a combination.
Illinois COVID-19 statistics consistently show that Latinx communities have suffered a disproportionate number of COVID cases, and Black communities have suffered a disproportionate number of COVID deaths.
Both these disparities cause immense distress in children.
The Recovery Project is the collaborative effort of major Chicago foundations, nonprofit organizations, and public and private groups, including the Field Foundation of Illinois, the MacArthur Foundation, the Chicago Community Trust, the City of Chicago’s Office of Equity and Racial Justice and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The maps confirm the multiple environmental factors, including housing discrimination, poverty, air pollution and flooding that put the Black and Latinx communities on Chicago’s South and West Sides at particular risk for negative outcomes related to COVID-19.
Schools which are located in the following zip codes and within the boundaries of the City of Chicago are invited to partner with a Medicaid billing non-profit mental organization to submit a response to this RFP: 60609, 60621, 60623,60628, 60629, 60632, 60638, 60639, 60641, 60643, 60644, 60649, 60651, and 60652.
