Crisis Intervention and Prevention
The City of Madison's Community Development Division (CDD) funds programs that support persons affected by traumatic events with the goal to increase safety and stability.
Crisis Intervention and Prevention Service Types:
- Crisis Intervention Support Services work with people that experience violence.
- Recovery and Stabilization Services provide ongoing support and referrals to key systems. These include healthcare, education, courts, public services, immigration, legal services, and others.
- Prevention Services and Activities provide information, skills and resources, building on protective factors.
Agencies can apply to receive funding for Crisis Intervention and Prevention Services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. RFPs are typically run every few years, CDD has information and an anticipated timeline of upcoming funding processes on our Funding Opportunities page.
