Description
The State of Maine seeks a single contractor to deliver the statewide Homebuilders® intensive family‑preservation and reunification services for at‑risk children and families. The contractor must operate an administrative hub, staff eight regional teams (specialists, supervisors, and managers), provide 24/7 emergency response, conduct comprehensive assessments, develop treatment plans, and supply both direct services and concrete supports (e.g., transportation, housing, $500 emergency‑needs allowance). Reporting includes quarterly performance‑measure packets, monthly child‑served reports, and annual financial statements, all using the Homebuilders® ECM system. Quality assurance requires a Department‑approved QA plan within 30 days of contract start and participation in fidelity reviews with the Institute for Family Development.
• Operate a statewide office (Mon‑Fri, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.) and provide 24/7 service coverage across all DHHS districts (except District 9).
• Staff eight teams (4‑5 specialists + 1 supervisor each) plus three team managers; meet strict qualification and background‑check requirements.
• Deliver intensive in‑home services (8‑10 hours/week for 4‑6 weeks) with rapid (≤ 30 min) emergency response and a $500 per‑family emergency‑needs budget.
• Report quarterly performance metrics (family completion, safety, resource linkage, etc.) and maintain detailed case data in the Homebuilders® ECM system.
