The Greensboro Police Department wishes to continue its contractual relationship with the Kellin Foundation to continue their work on the Governor’s Crime Commission grant, Greensboro Child Response Initiative, awarded for FY2020-22. The police department presented a resolution November 17, 2020 (ID 20-0768) to contract with Kellin Foundation for one year; however, the Governor’s Crime Commission has since granted the project a second year of funding. The contract for the second year of funding for $116,472 is presented to Greensboro City Council in accordance with current city fiscal procedures.

The GPD will provide contributions of $27,000 from its NC Drug Tax Excise funds to support the program and the year 2 total of the grant will be $116,472. The Kellin Foundation is the provider of the CRI services and the police department wishes to contract with them to continue to do so.

Expense reimbursement requests will be processed monthly and dispersed to the grant partner, Kellin Foundation, as allowable under the grant award conditions.
