Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations holding a 501(c)(3) determination with at least three years of experience serving this population, and no Local Business Enterprise set-asides apply.

Services must include, at minimum, individualized services and resource navigation. Group workshops and community-building events are optional. Priority goes to young adults ages 22 to 28 who were formerly involved in child welfare or juvenile justice systems. Services must be culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and designed to promote long-term self-sufficiency. Required service categories include outreach, needs assessment, direct services across 15 categories, and minimal direct financial support to clients. Providers must carry workers' compensation ($1,000,000), commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate), commercial automobile liability ($1,000,000), and cyber and privacy liability ($2,000,000 per claim) coverage. Any data or system access falls under Appendix J privacy and data security terms, which require breach notification within 48 hours of discovery.

Funding is approximately $250,000 per year from local funds, which may increase or decrease based on funding availability and the number of responsive proposals. Nonprofit proposers submit a flat annual budget for evaluation, and the agency adds Cost of Doing Business escalators after award, with no entitlement to adjustments. The RFP sets the term at January 1, 2027 through June 30, 2031, subject to annual fund availability and satisfactory performance, with up to three months of extension for client transition.

Evaluation is weighted 100 percent on bid price, with evaluation and notice of award both anticipated in December 2026.
