2023-2024 Community Resource Development Funds


As part of our contract with the New Jersey Children’s System of Care (CSOC), CCCC has access to limited funds designated for one time use by community organizations to promote and develop new, additional, and/or unique resources addressing an unmet or under-served need in Mercer County.

This letter serves as a “Request for Proposals” (RFP) to develop and/or increase the availability of community based resources to Mercer County youth experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, and substance use needs, and their families.

A maximum total of $67,788.07 is available to fund one or more projects. Funding is to be used for expansion or creation of resources available to Mercer County youth experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, and substance use needs, and their families. All types of projects that result in the expansion or creation of community-based resources will be considered with preference given to those programs that address needs related to:

  • Bilingual Mental and Behavioral Health Services
  • Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities
  • Intervention services for youth ages 0-6
  • Trauma Treatment Care Services
  • Mentorship Programing
  • LGBTQ+ Community
  • Substance Use Treatment
