2. Appendices A-M Program Model Specifications Revised 4.14.21~1.zip

This document contains appendices A-M that provide detailed program model specifications for a Request for Response (RFR) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) for a Congregate Care Network. The RFR seeks to drive innovation in congregate care programming to meet the diverse and complex needs of children, adolescents, and young adults who require 24/7 therapeutic care. Initial responses to this RFR are due on Monday, May 3, 2021 at 2:00 PM. The Department is looking to establish a congregate care network with the capacity to serve this population effectively.

The appendices provide comprehensive details on the program models, service requirements, and performance expectations for the congregate care network. The RFR does not include pricing terms, set-asides, or information about incumbents or funding sources. However, it is clear that the Department is seeking innovative approaches to strengthen their congregate care services and better support the target population.
