Request for Proposals (RFP) # 887 for Services for Adults with Disabilities •Education and Advocacy •Peer Mentoring The City and County of San Francisco Human Services Agency (HSA) seeks proposals from qualified organizations to provide dedicated programming for adults living with a disability. The objective of this proposal is to empower people of varying abilities and disabilities to live a fully realized and integrated community life by providing specialized services to them. There are two main categories of services associated with the proposed program: 1) Education and Advocacy, and 2) Peer Mentoring. Each of these service categories is defined in Section II, Part A, Description of Services. Respondents are asked to submit proposals that encompass two service tracks: Education and Advocacy, creation of a Peer Mentoring program that includes recruitment, training, and matching of volunteer mentors to adults living with a disability. Such programming can play an important role in maintaining independence among adults living with disabilities. In addition to providing positive avenues to create new social networks, the programming should increase access to cultural, educational, social and political well-being of adults living with disabilities. The program(s) may be the entry point for adults with disabilities in need of additional services by empowering individuals to understand available resources, navigate institutional hierarchies, give voice to concerns and effectively advocate for themselves. Respondents are encouraged to function as a lead agency and collaborate with other providers, particularly when that collaboration allows for the leveraging of strengths and specialties within each organization to create the strongest possible programs within each of the two service tracks. Existing services for which respondents currently receive any form of grant funding may not qualify for funding under this RFP. Proposals should clearly define what new programming is to be created. Respondents will demonstrate new programming is not duplicative and will not impede contractual obligations of their currently existing programs. Respondents may not utilize HSA funding for already existing programming services for which any grant funding is received. Proposals must also include clear allocations of costs between leveraged or existing programs and new programming proposed through this RFP to ensure grant funds are not co-mingled. Unduplicated consumer enrollments must also be clearly distinguishable between existing services and newly created programming. The grant agreement shall have a tentative term from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The total available funding for this RFP is estimated to be $140,500 annually. SF-HSA anticipates awarding one grantee as a result of this RFP. The source of funding for these services is state, federal and local funds. Payment for all services provided in accordance with provisions under this grant shall be contingent upon the availability of funds. The City does not guarantee any minimum amount of funding for these services.
