Behavioral Health and Community Safety Partnerships Service

The District of Columbia government is seeking a partner to provide Behavioral Health and Community Safety Partnerships services. The agency aims to reduce the behavioral health impacts of crime, violence, and disorder while strengthening community safety. This initiative focuses on improving outcomes for youth, families, and other individuals affected by these challenges. The project requires the implementation of 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 these issues. Additionally, the scope includes identifying and engaging individuals and families at risk for or impacted by crime, violence, and disorder. The agency requires the expansion of access to evidence-based or evidence-informed behavioral health services and supports. The partner must also improve 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 evaluation criteria or key dates for this procurement.
