South Carolina Social Impact Bond RFI #1

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) has published a Request for Information (RFI) concerning its Social Impact Bond Program.

As part of a national competition involving 28 state and local governments, SCDHHS was awarded pro bono technical assistance from the Harvard Kennedy School’s Social Impact Bond Technical Assistance Lab, supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. This award will help the department conduct analysis and coordinate the development of the Social Impact Bond program over the next 12 months.

The Department is seeking information regarding the design and development of a Social Impact Bond program focused on controlling costs and improving health and other outcomes of mothers and newborns in South Carolina’s Medicaid Program.

The agency has posted the RFI at the following URL:
