Family Preservation and Prevention Ongoing Services

Luzerne County is seeking proposals from qualified providers for Family Preservation and Prevention Ongoing Services. The services aim to provide general protective services for families who are accepted for continued services by the county agency. These families have children who are experiencing truancy, behavior/mental health concerns, drug/alcohol problems, parent/child conflict, and other concerns as agreed upon by the provider and agency. The provider will be responsible for following general and child protective services regulations, maintaining case records, completing mandated paperwork, and testifying in court proceedings. Some key points to consider: • The provider must have experience in providing services relevant to this RFI. • The provider must have a staffing structure and qualifications that meet the requirements of the RFI. • The provider must have the capacity to scale services if needed. • The provider must be able to provide data demonstrating program outcomes, effectiveness, or reach. • The provider must be able to make referrals to community partners and LCCYF contracted providers to meet goals on the service plans. • The provider must consider Evidence-Based Programs first when making referrals to community partners.
