Description
The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) launched a statewide Congregate Care Network solicitation (RFR CCNET22) to procure a range of residential and supported‑living program models for children, adolescents, and young adults under DCF custody. The solicitation uses a rolling‑enrollment, non‑competitive approach for most models (open through 31 Dec 2032) and a competitive method for Emergency Residence, Intensive Emergency Residence, and Young Parent Living programs. Providers must meet licensing, staffing, and trauma‑informed service requirements, and reimbursement is based on unit‑rate payments defined in Massachusetts regulation 101 CMR 413.00. The award list includes 56 vendors receiving contracts covering the period 01 Jan 2022 to 30 Jun 2033, with an estimated total program spend of roughly $3.6 billion.
• Covers 13 program models (e.g., CTR, STR, ITR, ER, IER, MCR, YG‑R, Residential School, etc.).
• Uses unit‑price reimbursement per placement per day; optional start‑up cost contracts for emergency models.
• Allows shared‑space arrangements and programmatic add‑ons; SBPP eligibility noted for small‑business participation.
