Violence Interrupters.

• Minneapolis seeks proposals for 'violence interrupters' as warmer temperatures loom - New outreach teams are expected to be in place before onset of the crime-prone summer months - By Libor Jany Star Tribune MARCH 1, 2021 — 5:13PM

According to the proposal, six teams of eight outreach workers will fan across the city, working five hours a day, six days a week. They will be paid $25 an hour.

Two teams will be deployed in both south and north Minneapolis, while Downtown and the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood will each receive one team. The target zones are:

• The area around 38th Street and Chicago Avenue

• The Lake Street Corridor

• Areas north of W. Broadway

• Areas south of W. Broadway

• Downtown

• Cedar-Riverside

Each zone will receive up to $275,000 in funding — as much as $2.5 million in all.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 5 p.m. March 11, with bid winners expected to be announced on April 1.
