Behavioral Health and Community Safety Partnerships Service

The District of Columbia government is seeking a vendor to provide behavioral health and community safety partnerships services. The agency aims to support communities in reducing the behavioral health impacts of crime, violence, and disorder while strengthening community safety. The project focuses on improving outcomes for youth, families, and other individuals affected by these challenges. The scope of work requires implementing integrated strategies that strengthen coordination across behavioral health providers, community-based organizations, youth-serving systems, and public safety partners. The selected partner must implement community-based prevention and early intervention strategies to address local needs. The agency also requires the identification and engagement of individuals and families who are at risk for or impacted by crime, violence, and disorder. The service provider must expand access to evidence-based or evidence-informed behavioral health services and supports. Additionally, the project demands improved coordination across systems, including health and public safety, to support community safety and stability. All performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and financial structure for this initiative. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
