Summary

Mott Haven Academy received a $931,627 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the School Safety National Activities program (CFDA 84.184), effective January 1, 2026. The Mott Haven Academy Harm Prevention Project Initiative is a school-based mental health services project designed to deepen investments in supportive learning environments and address the mental health and safety needs of students at this charter school located in the South Bronx (Bronx, NY 10454). The project focuses on expanding access to qualified mental health professionals and services within the school setting to support student well-being and safety.

As a non-profit charter school serving educationally disadvantaged students, Mott Haven Academy will leverage this federal funding to enhance its existing school culture and academic programming through comprehensive mental health service delivery. The grant supports the school's efforts to implement evidence-based mental health interventions, increase the availability of school-based mental health professionals, and create innovative approaches to violence prevention and emergency preparedness—key objectives of the School Safety National Activities program, which prioritizes improving student safety and well-being across the nation's schools.
