Congregate Care Services

The Arizona Department of Child Safety Master Agreement CTR071434 provides comprehensive congregate care services for children in out-of-home placement settings. The IDV enables the procurement of group home residential placements across multiple service categories, including standard group home services, specialized placements for populations such as LGBTQIA+ youth, sibling groups, and teens with specific behavioral needs. Contracted services include daily residential care at rates ranging from $149 to $200 per child, with additional provisions for one-on-one supervision, bed holds, transportation, and a $1,000 placement stabilization incentive after 90 days in the same setting. The contract encompasses a wide range of support services designed to facilitate children's care, development, and eventual transition to family-like environments.

The master agreement is awarded to LC3 Services & Investment Corp (360 Youth Group Home) by the Arizona Department of Child Safety, with an initial contract period from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. The contract covers a specific facility capacity of 6 beds for female youth aged 6-17 and is structured as a state-wide contract with potential extensions up to five years. The contract type is a Master Agreement with statewide geographic coverage in Arizona, involving collaborative oversight from the Arizona Department of Child Safety and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the daily rates and potential extensions suggest a significant investment in congregate care services for vulnerable youth populations.
