The file is a recording of a Mandatory Proposers Conference and Request for Application (RFA) Information Session for First 5 Sacramento's Crisis Nursery & Crisis Intervention Case Management Support opportunity. The video covers details of a procurement seeking providers to deliver crisis nursery services in two Sacramento County locations, focusing on prevention and early intervention for families with children ages 0-5. The program aims to provide emergency childcare, overnight care, and crisis intervention case management through a strength-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach.

First 5 Sacramento is investing significantly in this prevention strategy, with the goal of reducing parental stress, helping families resolve crises, and building family stability. The Commission seeks to support parents and caregivers in addressing crisis situations that could potentially put children at risk for abuse or neglect. The Crisis Nursery Model is considered an effective promising practice designed to strengthen and preserve families while helping children thrive. Funding will support concrete supports for families in crisis, with an emphasis on direct support and service coordination to help families move from crisis to stability through culturally responsive interventions.
