Starting with the transformation of the former Tidewater Gardens community—now the Kindred neighborhood—the revitalization of the St. Paul’s area has always been about putting people first.

For over five years, the City of Norfolk, NRHA and our community partners have honored our commitment to making every decision through that lens. With the support of People First, Empowered by Urban Strategies, Inc. (USI), we’ve helped residents grow in areas like housing, education, employment, and health & wellness.

Now, People First is seeking new partners to join this important work.

Request for Proposals (RFP) now open!

We’re looking for qualified organizations with expertise in:

• Education
• Economic mobility
• Health & wellness

Funding up to $50,000 annually, with the opportunity for renewal over two years.

Deadline: July 7
