Description
The San Bernardino County Human Services department is seeking proposals from qualified individuals, organizations, and firms to provide temporary shelter services for the County's exclusive use with a 'no reject/no eject' policy. The services will be provided under a reimbursement contract for a period of three years, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year periods. The County estimates a budget of $7,500,000 for the completion of this work.
Key aspects of the proposal include:
• Providing temporary shelter care services for children in need of emergency and/or temporary housing
• Ensuring a 'no reject/no eject' policy, where all youth must be accepted and cannot be expelled
• Guaranteeing a minimum number of temporary beds through a bed guarantee
• Ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and the California Department of Social Services Manual of Policies and Procedures
• Providing a complaint and grievance procedure for service recipients
