This document is a Request for Qualification (RFQ) from the Nebraska Board of Parole / Division of Parole Supervision for a Transitional Living/Sober Living Program contract. Kearney's Village, located in Kearney, Nebraska, is proposing to provide transitional housing and support services for adult parole clients. The program targets men and women aged 19 and older who are struggling with addiction, mental illness, homelessness, and criminal activity. The program aims to help clients transition to a self-sufficient lifestyle through structured housing, programming, and support, working closely with the Nebraska Office of Probation, Parole, and Drug Court. The proposed length of stay is up to 16 weeks, with potential for extended residence, and the facility can accommodate up to 54 clients with 24-hour staff supervision.

The cost proposal is $90 per day per parole client, which covers housing, utilities, internet, life skills training, budgeting, weekly goals tracking, drug/alcohol testing, and 24-hour on-site staff support. The comprehensive fee also includes weekly progress reporting, a private office for supervising officers, clothing and hygiene vouchers, and assistance obtaining identification documents. Kearney's Village does not currently have a licensed Mental Health Professional on-site but works with outside agencies like Region 3 and South Central Behavioral Services for counseling and mental health needs. The program has a strict employee screening process, requires clients to maintain 40 productive hours per week, and conducts random drug and alcohol testing. The facility was established in July 2019 and has maintained professional relationships with state agencies without any contract terminations.
