This document is an attachment, specifically Attachment F: Project Proposal Budget, related to a state and local contract opportunity called "On The Way Home" issued by the Agency, Juvenile Court Services, and the Scott County Decategorization Board in Iowa's 7th Judicial District. The program is a 12-14 month, evidence-based aftercare program that provides family and school-centered services for at-risk youth returning to their homes, schools, and communities following a stay in out-of-home care, who are at-risk for recidivism, academic failure, or high school dropout. The primary objectives are to facilitate successful and lasting reunification, reduce recidivism of youth to out of home placement, increase school engagement, sustain academic success, provide family members with instruction, support, and resources for managing difficult behavioral situations, and prepare youth for post-secondary education and/or employment.

The attachment provides a budget template for bidders to complete, including indirect expenses (capped at 15%) and various direct expense categories such as salaries/benefits, training and materials, equipment/supplies, travel, and Boys Town fees. Bidders are required to provide the total project budget and funding request, as well as detail the funding sources to be used.
