2025 RFQ - Providers of Summer Camp and Alternative Recreational Services Programs to Offer One-To-One Support Services to Youth with Developmental Disabilities Served by The Children’s System of Care

This RFQ seeks qualified providers to deliver one‑to‑one support services for youth (ages 0‑21) with developmental disabilities who attend summer day‑camp or alternative recreational sessions across New Jersey. Qualified providers will be placed on a state‑maintained Qualified Provider list and may receive fee‑for‑service reimbursement for the direct support they provide. The program runs from June through August 2025, with a per‑unit reimbursement of $7.69 for each 15‑minute block of service (approximately $30.76 per hour) and a day‑camp rate of $128.57 per youth per day. Providers must staff each youth with a dedicated support aide meeting specific education/experience criteria, maintain extensive documentation, and comply with numerous state licensing, reporting, and safety regulations. The solicitation closed on February 26 2025, and awards were announced March 31 2025, resulting in eight organizations being granted qualified‑provider status. • Target population: youth (0‑21) with developmental disabilities enrolled in summer day‑camp or ARS programs. • Service model: one‑to‑one support staff providing supervision, ADL assistance, behavior support, and crisis management up to 7 hours/day. • Compensation: $7.69 per 15‑minute unit (fee‑for‑service) and $128.57 per day for day‑camp participation. • Compliance: background‑check renewal, CHRI fingerprinting, extensive reporting, and adherence to New Jersey statutes (e.g., N.J.S.A. 30:6D‑73, 9:6‑8.10).
