Congregate Care Services

The Arizona Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) Master Agreement CTR071447 is a comprehensive congregate care services contract issued by the Arizona Department of Child Safety (ADCS) in collaboration with the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC). The contract provides statewide coverage for residential group home placements, offering a range of specialized services for children and youth in state custody. Available services include emergency shelter care, standard residential placements, and specialized group home settings for populations such as LGBTQIA+ youth, sibling groups, parenting teens, and youth with sexually maladaptive behaviors. Daily reimbursement rates range from $149 to $200 per child, with additional rates for medically complex cases and infants, enabling providers to deliver comprehensive medical, educational, and social support services.

The master agreement is awarded to Sacred Journey Inc., with a contract period from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, and potential extensions up to a total of five years. The contract covers two specific group home residential placements, each with 10 beds for female youth aged 12-17, located at SJ Ivy and SJ 7th Place in Arizona. As a master agreement, the IDV is a state-level contract type that allows for flexible, ongoing service procurement with defined performance metrics and stringent requirements around background checks, trauma-informed care, and operational standards. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the IDV is designed to provide a standardized mechanism for placing children in safe, specialized residential care settings across Arizona.
