| Solicitation Profile |
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is pleased to announce this funding opportunity aimed at improving the safety and well-being of children and families through the development of regionally placed Credible Messengers (CM) and Parent Partners (PP) as part of a core group of services strategically connected to OCFS Community Multi-Services Offices (CMSOs). This program is entitled Community Credible Messengers Initiative (CCMI).
OCFS seeks bidders who will assist OCFS in implementing the CCMI model, which will incorporate practices and strategies intended to improve outcomes for OCFS-placed youth and their families by providing a community-based network built on collaboration. This model will be comprised of voluntary agencies who have experience providing juvenile justice services, community-based grassroots organizations, CMs, PPs, and OCFS/DJJOY regional CMSO personnel. The CCMI seeks to create a network for OCFS and community-based partners to build, strengthen, and supervise a group of professionals to enhance and build on the natural community supports for youth and families that improves and sustains positive outcomes.
This RFP will exemplify OCFS’s commitment to promoting services that are developmentally appropriate, family-centered, and responsive to local needs. This programming is community-based, culturally and linguistically competent, and demonstrates effectiveness in achieving desired outcomes.
OCFS intends to establish CCMI teams in four OCFS Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY) regional offices (CMSOs) across New York State. These regional offices are in Buffalo, Rochester, Mid-Hudson, and Long Island. OCFS will provide the bidders who are awarded a CCMI contract with CM training by an OCFS-contracted technical assistance service provider.
Please Note: Bidders can submit proposals in multiple regions if they meet all other requirements listed within this RFP and submit a separate proposal for each region.
Please Note: The Questions and Answers have been posted on 6/15/2018.
