Opportunity text

Through this Request for Proposal (RFP) the Agency of Human Services/Family Services Division (hereinafter the "State") is seeking to establish contracts with one or more companies that can provide Due Process Review Hearings. The Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF), through the Family Services Division (FSD), works to promote the safety, well-being, and healthy development of Vermont's children and youth. FSD partners with families, caregivers, agencies, and communities to support children and youth and promote law-abiding behavior.
