The County of Sonoma Probation Department (Probation) is pleased to invite you to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Transitional Supportive Housing and Case Management for Individuals with Mental Illness and Substance Abuse Disorder. The purpose of this RFP is to provide services for individuals awaiting trial who have mental illness or cooccurring mental illness and substance abuse disorder, many of whom are homeless. OVERVIEW Such individuals pose difficult challenges to the courts. While the crimes for which they are charged might not warrant incarceration while awaiting trial, their mental health and living conditions increase their likelihood of committing new crimes, failing to appear in court, causing harm to themselves, or being victimized in the community. To reduce these risks, courts may require such defendants to remain incarcerated until adjudication. The project supports people living with behavioral health challenges who have been charged with committing a crime. The aim is for them to stabilize in the community and begin engaging in treatment instead of languishing in jail. The project provides supportive transitional housing, as well as community-based case management for individuals who do not need housing. QUESTIONS Proposers will be required to submit any and all questions in writing per the schedule in order for staff to prepare written responses to all consultants. Written answers will be shared with all potential bidders through an addendum on the County’s Supplier Portal and email notification. Questions should be sent via e-mail directly to [email protected]. Questions will not be accepted by phone. LIVING WAGE The living wage rate required under the County’s Living Wage Ordinance (LWO) has increased. Effective January 1, 2024, the living wage rate required under the LWO shall be $18.10 per hour, an increase over the previous $17.65 per hour.
